High Temporal Stability
and High Output Power
The MPS-8033 offers extremely high stabil-
ity—better than ±0.005 dB over 15 minutes and
±0.03 dB over 24 hours. The MPS-8033 is
also power adjustable over a 10 dB range
and capable of up to 20 mW of power into a
single mode fiber at WDM C-Band and L-Band
wavelengths. Precise internal laser diode tem-
perature control ensures low wavelength drift.
Operate in CW
Mode or
Internally
Modulated
Mode
The MPS-8033
series provides the
user with two laser
operating modes, CW
and modulated.
Internal modulation
frequencies 270 Hz,
1 kHz and 2 kHz are
selectable from the
front panel and 160 Hz to 15 kHz through
GPIB.
Plug and Play
The MPS-8033 is designed to get you up
and running quickly. That’s because we’ve inte-
grated the highest quality control circuits and
components to provide you with true turnkey
laser power coupled into an optical fiber.
The MPS-8033 sources conveniently display
output power in either milliwatts or decibels
(dBm). Decibel readings also can be displayed
relative to an operator-selected reference level.
In addition, bright, 4 digit front panel LED’s
ensure that power levels will be displayed
clearly.
Production Workhorse
For applications where stability and reliability
are expected, ILX’s precision laser diode tem-
perature and current control electronics make
the MPS-8033 Series Sources well suited for
exacting production and laboratory test and
measurement applications. These include active
and passive component testing for high-preci-
sion IL and ORL measurements, environmental
testing, power meter and detector calibration.
Automated
Production or
Laboratory Testing
For automated testing,
the standard GPIB inter-
face allows remote control
from a host computer.
In remote operating mode
all front panel functions
are accessible through the
GPIB bus as well as
increased display res-
olution with instrument
specific commands.
Meeting Production or Laboratory
Test Needs
The MPS-8033 Laser Diode Sources offers
even more wavelengths to suit your production
or laboratory test needs including 850, 980, and
1480 FP Laser Diode plus user selectable WDM
C-Band wavelengths from 1527.98–1564.26 nm
and L-Band from 1564.27–1610.06 nm.
