The Anritsu FP000012 TUNICS-Plus is a benchtop tunable laser source engineered for optical communication testing and component characterization. It delivers mode-hop-free operation across a 150 nm tuning range with 1 pm resolution, ensuring stable and repeatable wavelength output. Available in six versions spanning 1260 nm to 1640 nm, the instrument combines high spectral purity with precise wavelength control—making it essential for research, development, and manufacturing in optical fiber communications.
Technical Specifications
Wavelength accuracy is ±0.04 nm with tuning repeatability of ±0.005 nm. Wavelength stability reaches 5 pm/h (3 pm/h typical) and 5 pm/24h typical. Output power ranges to +10 dBm on select models, easing power budgets and enabling high-dynamic range measurements.
Optical performance is defined by Side Mode Suppression Ratio (SMSR) exceeding 40 dB across standard models, with CL and CL/WB variants reaching >45 dB. Tunics Plus E and CL/WB models achieve >50 dB SMSR within specific windows (1280–1320 nm and 1380–1410 nm respectively). Linewidth is typically <145 dB/Hz.
