Introduction

What is a Tunable Laser Source?

A Tunable Laser Source (TLS) is a laser source for which the wavelength 

can be varied through a specified range. The Keysight 81960A is a TLS 

with continuous-sweep measurement capabilities, where wavelength and 

power are regulated while the laser changes wavelength at a constant 

rate. The Keysight Technologies range of TLS modules also allow you to 

set the output power, and to choose between continuous wave or 

modulated power.

With the 81960A, Keysight sets a new mark in tunable laser performance 

with faster sweep speeds and repetition rates combined with the dynamic 

accuracy specifications needed for DWDM component measurements, all 

packaged in a compact module. The new and unique capability of 

dynamically specified sweeps in both directions enhances the repetition 

rate even further for real-time use in adjustment and calibration 

procedures.

Installation

The Keysight 81960A Tunable Laser Source Family is a front-loadable 

module.

For a description of how to install your module, refer to “How to Fit and 

Remove Modules” in the Installation and Maintenance chapter of your 

mainframe’s User’s Guide.
