With the exponential growth in demand in data centers, AI-based networks, and high-performance communication systems, photonic devices and modules face significant optical losses associated with signal splitters, couplings, and waveguides. These losses necessitate tunable light sources with high output power and stability to perform reliable and repeatable measurements for component characterization and manufacturing testing.
TSL-570 Type U Technology and Capabilities:
The TSL-570 Type U is based on the TSL-570 family of tunable lasers, with substantial improvements in optical power thanks to optimizations in the laser cavity design and control circuitry. The new model offers:
Ultra-high continuous operating (CW) optical output: Over +25 dBm (300 mW) in the 1300–1320 nm wavelength range, representing an improvement of more than three times over previous TSL-570 models.
Wide wavelength tuning range: Maintains over +20 dBm of optical power across an extended range from 1270 to 1350 nm, facilitating the evaluation of high-loss devices.
Compatibility with advanced testing: Ideal for photonic device characterization and production testing of CPO components, photonic integrated circuits (PICs), silicon waveguides, and other critical optical elements.
This product is offered as a reference source for applications requiring accurate evaluation of optical performance in highly complex architectures, from R&D laboratories to industrial production environments.
Availability
: Orders for the TSL-570 Type U will begin on February 1, 2026.
