Agilent 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family, Fourth Edition 125
e Determine total noise power by adding up all 31 partial noise power
levels:
OSA_noise = Sum of all partial noise power levels
= _________ pW
f Note the OSA_noise value in the test record.
3 Connect the Tunable Laser module to the Optical Spectrum Analyzer as
shown in Figure 39 on page 123. Connect one end of the Fiber Bragg
Grating to Output 1, the Low SSE output of the TLS and the other to the
Optical Spectrum Analyzer.
4 Move to the TLS channel of the 8164A/B mainframe. Set the [Menu]
parameters to:
+2 nm pW
...... pW
...... pW
+13 nm pW
+14 nm pW
+15 nm pW
