81600B Tunable Laser Source Family
Data Sheet
Introduction
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family offers the
full wavelength range from 1260 nm to 1640 nm with no wavelength gaps. This
provides test instrumentation with maximum flexibility.
Investing in the Keysight 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family can realize the
cost efficiency and performance required to test components for coarse and
dense wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM, DWDM) and passive optical
networks (PON).
