Agilent / HP 8168E is a high performance tunable laser source for the characterization of optical devices over wavelength. Independent control of the instrument parameters ensures that the output power is kept stable over time and wavelength. In manufacturing applications, it can be integrated into a fuully-automated production test environment for precise, fast, and repeatable testing. In a manual setup, single or dual channel passive component measurements can be performed using the built-in application and an Agilent 8153A lightwave multimeter.
