The GN Nettest-Photonetics OSICS 3610RA00 is a modular laser source mainframe designed for multi-wavelength fiber optic testing in DWDM systems. The 8-slot platform accepts plug-in DFB, ECL, ASE, EDFA, LD, ATN, SWT, BKR, and SLD modules, enabling flexible configuration of laser sources and amplifiers. Control is provided via front panel, RS-232C, or IEEE-488.2 interfaces.
