14.1
OSICS TLS-50 Presentation
The OSICS TLS-50 modules are tunable laser sources with high output power and very
high accuracy based on the ITU-T grid. The wavelength can be switched over about 90
channels of the ITU-T grid by 50 GHz steps, covering around 35 nm in C or L band. The
TLS-50 module is particularly adapted to testing of WDM routing.
