Power Tests Performance Tests
Agilent 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family, Fourth Edition 89
At the start of the test the TLS is set:
• To its lowest specified wavelength,
• To an output power larger than the specified output power,
• Such that any modulation is off.
At the end of the test, the TLS is set to its maximum specified wavelength.
Test Procedure
This test procedure is applicable to the:
It measures the maximum output power of the module at the outputs
indicated.
Set up the equipment as shown in Figure 24:
Figure 24 Test Setup for Maximum Output Power Tests
1 Move to the power meter channel:
• Select Automatic ranging (this is the default setting),
•Set the Averaging Time to 500 ms,
• Select <dBm> as the power units,
• While the laser is Off, Zero the power meter. Select <Menu> then <Ze-
ro>.
