1. General Information
1.1 Introduction
This manual contains information on the installation and operation
of the SWL-1550-M modular swept wavelength laser unit.
1.2 Product Overview
The SWL-1550-M is a turn-key solution for fiber sensor
interrogation, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), and other
optical sensing applications. Inside a ruggedized anodized-
aluminum housing, the SWL-1550-M contains a fast tunable laser
source with driver circuit and control electronics. Through the
electrical voltage input, the SWL-1550-M is a laser source that
provides a fast, continuous wavelength sweeping from 1520 nm to
1610 nm (90nm version)
The optional RS-232 port will provide laser status monitoring and
laser control functions. This laser requires a single +5/-5 VDC
power supply to initiate as well as an additional voltage source for
wavelength sweeping and tuning.
