COMMUNICATIONS COMPONENTS Broadband (Fabry-Perot) Wavelength Locker Key Features • Extremely low temperature dependence • High accuracy • Periodic locking covers all channels (one part number for any channel to reduce inventory) • Temperature sensor included for better locking accuracy, if necessary • Operation over C and L bands Applications • Precise laser locking for DWDM and ultra DWDM transmitter • Wavelength monitoring • Laser stabilization for tunable laser module • DWDM channel frequency and optical power monitoring The broadband (Fabry-Perot) wavelength locker is a thermally stable, air-gapped, etalon-based device that can be used to stabilize laser sources for high-density WDM applications and tunable lasers. Our 50 GHz, free spectral range (FSR) designs are industry-standard products. The broadband wavelength locker has a wide capture range and excellent wavelength accuracy. The temperature sensor, included with every locker, can be used to calibrate out thermal effects when even higher wavelength accuracy is required or when using a very narrow FSR locker.
