Verifying the Absolute Wavelength Accuracy
Subject
The following procedure verifies that the wavelength settings agree with the measured
wavelengths over the entire specification range.
If these values do not match the absolute wavelength specification, you may calibrate
the lower and upper wavelength setting limits by using an external wavemeter, as
described below.
Procedure
1.
Connect the laser to the wavemeter.
2.
Set the output power to 0 dBm using the front-panel power controls:
(Press P > 0 > ENTER).
3.
Set the wavelength of the tunable laser to the lower limit of the wavelength range
according to the T100S-HP model (see section
Technical Specifications, p. 12
).
4.
Enable the laser output and verify the wavelength at the lower limit ±0.04 nm.
5.
Repeat the check for each increment of 5 nm from the lower limit to the upper limit
listed in section
Technical Specifications, p. 12
6.
Verify that the measured wavelength is no greater than ±0.04 nm away from each
wavelength setting.
9.3
Verifying Wavelength Range and Output Power
Subject
The following procedure verifies that the laser output can achieve the rated power at the
specified limits of the wavelength range.
If the power settings do not exactly match the measured power, you may calibrate the
power settings from the front panel, as follows
.
Procedure
1.
Disable the laser output.
2.
Connect the laser to the optical power meter.
3.
Set the wavelength of the tunable laser and the power meter to the lower limit of the
wavelength range listed in section
Technical Specifications, p. 12
.
4.
Enable the laser output and adjust the power setting as necessary to verify that the
laser can achieve the rated output power at the lower limit of the wavelength range.
5.
Set the wavelength of the tunable laser and the power meter to the upper limit of the
wavelength range listed in section
Technical Specifications, p. 12
.
6.
Enable the laser output and adjust the power setting as necessary to verify that the
laser can achieve the rated output power at the upper limit of the wavelength range.
