Measuring Laser Separation
Measuring Laser Separation
It is often important to measure the wavelength and power separation between mul-
tiple laser lines. This is especially true in wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM)
systems where channel spacing must be adhered to. The Agilent 86120B can display
the wavelength and amplitude of any laser line relative to another. In fact, the fol-
lowing types of relative measurements can be made compared to the reference:
• Relative wavelength, absolute power
• Relative power, absolute wavelength
• Relative wavelength and power
