Keysight Technologies assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements. Before operation, review the instrument and manual, including the red safety page, for safety markings and instructions.
Operating Environment The safety information in your mainframe’s User’s Guide summarizes the operating ranges for the Keysight 81950A Compact Tunable Laser Source modules. In order for these modules to meet specifications, the operating environment must be within the limits specified for your mainframe.
Getting Started Input/Output Signals There is one BNC input connector on the front panel of a Keysight CAUTION 81950A Compact Tunable Laser Source module. To prevent the BNC interface from damage, do not exceed the voltage limit of +- 5V when applying external voltage.
* Max. CW output power is defined as the highest possible optical power that the laser source can produce at its output connector. ** Max. permissible CW output power is the highest optical power that is permitted within the appropriate laser class.

What is a Tunable Laser Source? A Tunable Laser Source (TLS) is a laser source for which the wavelength can be varied through a specified range. The Keysight Technologies range of compact TLS modules also allow you to set the output power, and to choose between continuous wave or modulated power.
[State] parameter in the instrument’s Graphical User Interface, or remotely using GPIB commands. When the ‘Active’ LED is lit the output is enabled. When the active LED is not lit the output is disabled. Keysight 81950A Compact TLS Module Getting Started Guide...
Low line width source for complex modulation formats The low line width of the Keysight 81950A Compact TLS module makes this module an ideal light source for transmission systems with (D)QPSK and higher order modulation formats and as local oscillator for coherent receivers.
Getting Started Optical Output Polarization Maintaining Fiber A Polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) output is standard for Keysight 81950A Tunable Laser Source Family. PMF is aligned to maintain the state of polarization. A well defined state of polarization helps ensure constant measurement conditions.
Getting Started Angled and Straight Contact Connectors To ensure most accurate measurements, the Keysight 81950A Fast sweeping Compact TLS module is equipped with angled contact connectors. Angled contact connectors help you to control return loss, since reflected light tends to reflect into the cladding, reducing the amount of light that reflects back to the source.
Getting Started Signal Input and Output There is one BNC input connector on the front panel of a Keysight CAUTION 81950A Compact Tunable Laser Source module. To prevent the BNC interface from damage, do not exceed the voltage limit of +- 5V when applying external voltage.
