 Stability spec based on a 1 hour warm up period. 

4

 The maximum USB and BNC cable length is 3 meters in order to avoid a susceptibility to RF interference according to IEC61000-4-3. 

5

 Modulation Input voltage directly corresponds to output power, where 5V = Max power and 0 V = Min power. See section 5.9; Modulating the Laser Output. 

6

 Assuming sine wave modulation. For modulation other than a sine wave, consider the bandwidth as a function of the rise time. See  

section 5.9; Modulating the Laser Output. 

7

 This laser source may experience mode-hopping that can’t be tuned out with temperature or current adjustment. Therefore, power stability should be interpreted 

as the maximum power drift over that period.
