Tunable Laser Sources

Tunable Laser Sources
dBm Optics offers a variety of tunable laser sources (TLS's) for use in a variety of applications from
R&D to component characterization on the production floor. Current products include swept wavelength,
stepped wavelength, high power, low noise and ultra-wide tuning ranges. Some models are available with
a variety of integrated options such as polarization control and wavelength reference. These options are built
into the TLS, offering a flexible system configured to your specific needs.

Optical Switch (Model 4400)

Ultra Low-Loss, Fully-Reconfigurable Optical Switch
The Model 4400 is a compact and robust photonic switch with ultra-low insertion loss of less than 0.3 dB (typical); less than 0.05 dB polarization dependent loss; an optical throughput of 30 dBm; and switching speeds less than 13 ms. The Model 4400 provides ultra-high performance and flexibility for even the most demanding applications.

Ultra-low insertion loss (< 0.05 dB 1xN; < 0.3 dB NxN)
Ultra-low PDL (< 0.02 dB 1xN; < 0.05 dB NxN)
Low insertion loss variation (< 0.005 dB 1xN; < 0.05 dB NxN)
High optical power handling (30 dBm)
Low cross-talk/isolation (> 80 dB 1xN; > 70 dB NxN)
Fast switching (< 13 ms)
Bi-directional & fully non-blocking
All-optical switch is protocol and bit-rate independent
Completely flexible MxN switching
Very simple to use
