Santec built the world’s first commercially available narrow linewidth tunable laser in 1987. Growing from that innovative start, we have developed a range of laser solutions for a wide variety of applications across many technical fields. Whatever your application, Santec can offer a tunable laser that will not only integrate seamlessly with your system, but will also increase your measurement capability and accuracy.
Overview
The TSL-510 provides market-leading performance in a compact, easy to use package. Continuous, mode-hop-free wavelength sweeps can be performed over its full 130nm tuning range with the highest output power of comparable bench top lasers on the market today. A variety of options are available to provide high output power, high SNR and high wavelength accuracy if required. GPIB interface with the industry standard SCPI command set allow full remote control and measurement automation.
