Specifications and Regulatory Information
Specifications—FAST Update Mode
Specifications—FAST Update Mode
Each laser line is assumed to have a linewidth (including modulation side-
bands) of less than 10 GHz.
All specifications apply when the instrument is in the following modes:
• FAST up date mode unless noted. Refer to “Measurement rate” on
page 2- 13 .
• Configured to measure narrowband devices. Sp ecifications do not ap ply
when the instrument is configured to measure broadband devices. Refer
to “Measuring broadband devices and chirp ed lasers” on p age 2- 9 .
