Definition of Terms Specifications
Agilent 81600B Tunable Laser Source Family, Fourth Edition 49
Measurement: Using an optical powermeter and by performing repeated spectral loss
measurement on a stable absorption peak from a reference component,
then analyzing the variation of the determined (interpolated) wavelength of
the peak.
Wavelength repeatability (stepped mode)
The random uncertainty in reproducing a wavelength after changing and
re-setting the wavelength. The wavelength repeatability is ± half the span
between the maximum and the minimum of all actual values of this
wavelength.
Conditions: Uninterrupted tunable laser source output power, constant power level,
constant temperature. Other conditions as specified.
Measurement: Using a wavelength meter, averaging time
≥ 1s.
Wavelength resolution
The smallest selectable wavelength increment or decrement.
The wavelength repeatability of the low-SSE output
(if applicable) is the same as the wavelength repeatability of the high
power output (guaranteed by design).
The long-term wavelength repeatability can be obtained by taking
the wavelength repeatability and wavelength stability into account.
