Product Overview

The Optilab DWDM Source Bank (DSB) series are designed specifically for use with Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) based device and systems. With Optilab’s comprehensive inventory of high quality Distributed Feedback (DFB) lasers, DSB can be custom ordered with up to 80 total DFB wavelengths to meet very high-density DWDM test and qualification requirements. With its powerful Labview-based software and intuitive front panel control, the user can control each of the DWDM channels individually for precise output power level and exact emission wavelength.

Optilab DSB series provide an optimal solution for repetitive testing of DWDM-based modules and components. Each DSB can be ordered with ITU grid spacing of 50 GHz, 100 GHz or a combination of both. Each DFB laser is precisely controlled to +/-5 pm wavelength stability. With the included LabVIEW software, controlling and monitoring of all 80 DWDM channels can be done through one standard USB port of PC. The capability allow for decreased testing cycles and improved productivity.
