9. Verifying Performances

Use the procedures in this section to verify the following warranted specifications of the 

TUNICS T100S-HP:

Absolute wavelength accuracy

Wavelength range and output power

Tuning repeatability

Side mode suppression

Return loss

The recommended calibration interval is one year.

Preparing the Product for Testing

Equipment 

Required

The following table lists the equipment required to carry out the performance verification 

procedures. The type and amount of connectors needed may vary according to the 

particular equipment you use as well as the distance between the test equipment and the 

TUNICS T100S-HP tunable laser under test.

Table 13: Test Equipment

Procedure

1.

Warm up the TUNICS T100S-HP tunable laser under test and the test equipment for 2 

hours at an ambient temperature (between 20° and 30° C).

2.

Initialize the system as described in section 

Initializing the Laser, p. 25

.

3.

Connect the laser output as described in section 

Connecting External Optical Devices 

to the product, p. 22

.

4.

Enable the laser output as described in section 

Enabling/Disabling the Laser Output, 

p. 26

.

The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye 

hazard. Do not under any circumstances look directly into the fiber end 

of an optical cable attached to the optical output while the device is in 

use for this may cause permanent eye damage and possible loss of 

eyesight. Note that the laser radiation is not visible to the human eye, 

therefore, protective cap must always be replaced on the laser output 

connector after use to avoid involuntary exposure to laser radiation.

Disable the laser output before connecting or disconnecting a fiber 

optic cable on the product.
