9 How to set the modulated power for the Tunable Laser module:
a If power is not displayed in Watts, move to the [P] parameter and press
the [Power Unit] softkey.
bMove to <W>, using the cursor key, and press Enter.
c Move to the [P] parameter and press Enter.
d Enter 500.000.
e Change units to µW, if necessary, using the [Unit+] or [Unit−] softkey.
fPress Enter.
10 How to set the modulation frequency for the Tunable Laser module:
a Select the [Frequency] parameter and press Enter.
b Enter 100.000 and press Enter.
11 For the Tunable Laser module, press the button beside the Optical Output. The
green LED should switch on to indicate that the laser is now active.
You should notice that the power reading is approximately half the value set on
the Tunable Laser module. This is because the output is modulated by a square
wave with a 50% duty cycle.
