Specifications and Regulatory Information

Specifications—NORMAL Update Mode

Specifications—NORMAL Update Mode

Each laser line is assumed to have a linewidth (including modulation side- bands) of less than 5 GHz.

All specifications apply when the instrument is in the following modes:

•NORMAL update mode unless noted. Refer to “Measurement rate” on page 2- 13.

•Configured to measure narrowband devices. Specifications do not apply when the instrument is configured to measure broadband devices. Refer to “Measuring broadband devices and chirped lasers” on page 2- 9.

Wavelength

Range	1270–1650
Absolute accuracy (lines separated by ≥15 GHz)	±2 ppm (±0.003 nm at 1550 nm and 1310 nm)
Differential accuracy (characteristic)	±1 ppm
Minimum resolvable separationa (characteristic)	10 GHz (0.08 nm at 1550 nm, 0.06 nm at 1300 nm)
Display resolution	0.001 nm

a. Signals of equal amplitude. For lines that are separated by less than 30 GHz, wavelength accuracy is reduced.
