A continuously tunable laser is an essential instrument in R&D labs and on production floors. It covers a variety of applications where rapid, continuous wavelength tuning is required. The T200S laser delivers speed and high power while sweeping in addition to narrow linewidth at fixed wavelengths
Integrated photonics can include complex optical components with high-contrast spectrum. For instance, a ring resonator may have very sharp features making it difficult to characterize insertion loss. In addition to insertion loss, some devices require extended measurements of return loss or polarization dependent loss, with the same level of accuracy. Finally, simultaneous testing of a large number of devices or outputs from one single device is also required to speed up PIC characterization. the CTP10 is an integrated solution that leverages the full potential of the T200S for operations at 200 nm/s sweep speed. The T200S is also compatible with the CT440, compact component tester operating at 100 nm/s.
