TUNICS T100S-HP
High Power Tunable Laser
TUNICS' proven tunable laser design provides longterm reliability with uncompromised specifications.
This latest version provides high output power acrossits full tuning range with ultra-low SSE noise. This is aneasy to use and affordable instrument for all optics
laboratories and will ensure your measurements are
no longer limited by laser performance.

Key Features

Wide Tuning Range+13 dBm Output PowerThe TUNICS T100S-HP provides the highest fiber-coupled
output power of any comparable tunable laser on themarket today. Essential models emit over 10 mW(+10 dBm) over their entire tuning range. Peak power is
20 mW (+13 dBm) for all models.

Six models are available. Essential models cover thestandard telecom O and C & L wavelength bands.
Extended Range models have very large wavelength
ranges, up to 200 nm, extending from 1240 to 1680 nm.

High Power and High Dynamic Range

Yenista's unique T100 cavity eliminates the broadband
spontaneous emission (SSE) that is normally present in an
external cavity laser's output. This gives a dramatic
improvement in a measurement's dynamic range andenables component characterization without compromise.

Built-in Wavelength Reference
An internal wavelength reference ensures the highwavelength accuracy, better than ±20 pm, is maintained in
the long-term.

Step-by-Step or Fast Wavelength
Scans
The laser can be tuned accurately to any wavelength oralternatively can be swept, at any speed from 1 to
100 nm/s over a range of wavelengths.

Telecom System & Component
Testing
The ultra-low SSE is a big advantage and enables
repeatable high dynamic range measurements. Production
environments benefit from the proven reliability and fastmode-hop-free scan.

Interferometry & Metrology
For both stable and scanning interferometric systems.

Sensors & Spectroscopy
0.1 pm fine scanning and wavelength modulation are
additional features available for these applications.

Scientific Research & Development
Extensive input and output ports provide added flexibility
and satisfy a wide range of test requirements.
