This chapter gives you basic information on how you can operate the tunable
laser source from the front panel.
What is a Tunable Laser Source?
A tunable laser source is a laser source for which the wavelength is not xed.
The Hewlett-Packard tunable laser sources also allow you to set the output
power, and to choose between continuous wave or modulated output power
.
Note
The single greatest factor aecting the performance of the
tunable laser source, as with all ber optic measurements, is the
cleanliness of the connectors. Ensure that your connectors are
always clean. For cleaning instructions, see Appendix E.
