Optical Output
Polarization Maintaining Fiber
The Agilent 81662A and Agilent 81663A DFB Laser Source modules
are equipped with a polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) as standard,
the PMF is aligned to maintain the state of polarization.
The fiber is of Panda type, with TE mode in the slow axis in line with
the connector key. A well defined state of polarization ensures
constant measurement conditions.

PMF Output Connector
Angled Contact Connectors
The Agilent 81662A and Agilent 81663A DFB Laser Source modules
are equipped with an angled contact optical output connector as
standard.
Angled contact connectors help you to control return loss. With angled
fiber endfaces, reflected light tends to reflect into the cladding,
reducing the amount of light that reflects back to the source.
C A U T I O N
If the contact connector on your instrument is angled, you can only
use cables with angled connectors with the instrument.
