Tunable Laser Source 29

5 Setting Sweep Parameters

Your tunable laser source allows you to perform automatic wavelength

scans according to user-defined parameters. You can perform a

continuous sweep (the source will make one or several continuous

passes), or you can perform a step-by-step sweep (the signal wavelength

changes according to preset increments or steps).

Setting the Start and End Wavelengths

The wavelength scans and their lengths (or duration) depend on the start

and end wavelengths you set.

To set the wavelengths for your scans:

1. Press Sweep. You will be in the START 

menu.

2. Press ENTER. The Edit marker starts blinking in the lower part of the

display.

3. Tur n the selection dial clockwise or counterclockwise until the desired

wavelength is displayed.

4. Press ENTER. You can select a wavelength at a resolution of 0.001 nm.

5. To exit the Sweep menu, press Sweep.

Turn the dial clockwise or counterclockwise until EXIT is displayed,

then press ENTER.
