Specifications
Each laser line is assumed to have a linewidth (including modulation side-
bands) of less than 10 GHz.
All specifications apply when the instrument is in the following modes:
•
NORMAL
update mode unless noted. Refer to “Measurement rate” on page 2-14.
• Configured to measure narrowband devices. Specifications do
not
apply when
the instrument is configured to measure broadband devices. Refer to “Measur-
ing broadband devices and chirped lasers” on page 2-10.
