Santec - Model TSL-570 -High Performance Tunable Laser
Santec's TSL-570 is a high-performance tunable laser that leverages over three decades of experience in laser manufacturing. It features a wide tuning range, high output power, and an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, making it ideal for various photonics applications, including optical component characterization, photonic integrated circuit testing, quantum photonics, spectroscopy, and sensors. The TSL-570 uses a novel optical cavity design with precise speed control up to 200 nm/s and sub-picometer resolution. It includes a user-friendly touch panel display and supports remote control via Ethernet, GPIB, and USB interfaces. Additionally, it offers Wake-on-LAN functionality for remote installations. The laser covers a wavelength range from 1240 to 1680 nm with output powers up to 20 mW. Its sealed cavity ensures mode-hop-free, stable output and features ultra-low spontaneous source emission with 90 dB/0.1 nm. The TSL-570 integrates seamlessly with Santec's power meters, switches, and polarization controllers, providing a comprehensive solution for wavelength and polarization-dependent loss measurements.

Santec’s all new TSL-570 capitalizes on Santec’s 33 years of experience in tunable laser manufacture. The TSL-570 is a high performance tunable laser with a wide tuning range and an output combining high power and high signal-to-noise ratio. It uses a new optical cavity design with precise speed control up to 200 nm/s and sub-picometer resolution and accuracy.
Tunable lasers are used extensively in photonics; for optical component characterization, photonic integrated circuit testing, quantum photonics, spectroscopy and sensors. Santec’s TSL-570 is a high specification, full feature instrument suitable for all applications. It has a simple to use touch panel display as well as Ethernet, GPIB and USB interfaces for remote control. A Wake-on-LAN (WoL) feature provides convenience for remote installations. Models are available to cover from 1240 to 1680 nm with output powers up to 20 mW.
A new sealed laser cavity is mode-hop-free and provides a stable output at every wavelength. It has 0.1 pm resolution, sub-pm accuracy and a market leading, 90 dB/0.1 nm, ultra-low level of spontaneous source emission. The TSL-570 integrates seamlessly with Santec’s optical power meters (MPM series), optical switches (OSU series) and polarization controllers (PCU series) creating benchmark, turn-key solutions for wavelength dependent loss (WDL) and polarization dependent loss (PDL) measurements (Swept Test System).
