1. Product Presentation
1.1 Product Features
The T100S-HP is a high-performance, self-aligned external cavity laser. It is a general-
purpose instrument designed for fiber-optic system testing and precise WDM
component testing, as well as for research and development in the field of optical
communications.
The following table lists the T100S-HP main features.
Feature Description
Wide, fast, and 100%-
continuous tunability Extremely smooth scans over 100 nm obtained in 1 second,
with a high resolution of 1 picometer.
A digitally-controlled analog fine-tuning extending the
resolution beyond the 1–picometer step to the sub-MHz level.
Active cavity control The proprietary active cavity control provides the means for
full optical communications systems and components
characterizations. It ensures true mode-hop-free operations
over the entire tuning range along with remarkable
wavelength accuracy.
Internal wavelength
referencing The T100S-HP features its own internal referencing system to
ensure highly accurate and repeatable measurements.
Active wavelength
monitoring This feature turns the T100S-HP into a high-precision tunable
laser for DWDM component characterization.
Full-featured
wavelength sweeper
mode True swept-wavelength function with adjustable sweep speed
setting over the user-defined wavelength range (within the
system’s specified wavelength range).
Mode-hop free A wide range guaranteed to be free of any mode hopping to
ensure a smooth and accurate wavelength sweep for reliable
testing of narrow-band components.
SSE - free operation A unique optical design to yield intra-cavity filtering of SSE
coming out of the diode. More than 90 dB of dynamic range
for a pure, high-power single-mode laser line.
High output power +10 dBm delivered by the Essential models.
+8 dBm delivered by the Extended Range models.
See section Technical Specifications, p. 12 .
Outstanding long-term
stability Self-aligned optical layout, single-moving-part design and
construction with low CTE materials to ensure a high level of
long-term stability.
Intuitive and user-
friendly controls Optimized keyboard and display for intuitive and easy-to-
implement laboratory operations.
Dual parameter input (keyboard or multi-speed rotary
control).
