3 Move to the Tunable Laser channel of the Agilent 8164A/B
Lightwave Measurement System and press [Menu].
4 Set the menu parameters to the values shown in Table 5.
5 Set the wavelength and power for each Tunable Laser module to the
values given in Table 9.
NOTE The laser output is limited to its maximum possible value at this
wavelength, the display will probably show ExP.
6 Press the key beside the laser output to switch on the laser.
7 Set the wavelength of the 81626B to the same as your Tunable Laser
module, as given in Table 9.
8 Measure the output power with the 81626B and note the result for
this wavelength in the test record.
9 Increase λ, the output wavelength, of the Tunable Laser module to
the next value given in the test record.
10 Increase the wavelength of the 81626B to the same value.
11 Note the measured power in the test record for each wavelength
12 Repeat item 9 to item 11 for the full wavelength range
