FC-OEM-15401540 nm infrared CW laser

1540 nm

The FC-OEM-1540 is a 1540 nm continuous-wave laser source. Tuning changes the selected output wavelength so spectral features can be scanned with the same source. The tuning band specifies which lines can be reached; linewidth describes the width of the selected line.
