Light source
Note
For the light source, use a stabilized single-mode laser light.
Set the optical output power to –20 dBm or higher.
Use a light source with a level stability of 0.1 dBp-p or less.
Use a light source with a line width of 5 MHz or less.
3.
Press SYSTEM. The soft key menu is displayed.
