The LASER-1052-1-FA-MTRQ is in the MARTIX instrument format and provides the same high-performance test capabilities of the PXIe modules in an compact benchtop design. MATRIQ instruments are simple to setup and easy to operate, making them the perfect choice for your optical lab or test bench.
The LASER-1052-1-FA-MTRQ also comes with Whisper Mode. This feature enables the user to temporarily disable the laser control frequency dither, which is useful for applications that require the narrowest linewidth. Disabling the frequency dither disables the laser frequency and power regulation and may cause them to drift over time. The whisper mode is only intended to be used over a short time, typically less than 10 minutes. All Quantifi Photonics tunable lasers adhere to the OIF standard Micro Integrated Tunable Laser Assemblies (μITLA) Implementation Agreement and utilize the standard dithering method for frequency stability.
The Laser 1000 Series is a Continuous Wave (CW), tunable laser source offering high-power output, narrow 100 kHz linewidth and 0.01 pm resolution tunability.
The Laser 1000 Series is a fully-compliant micro-ITLA laser with up to four channels in a compact benchtop form factor. Offering 0.01 pm resolution tunability across C or L bands, exceptional power accuracy up to 16.5dBm, and optional dither suppression, this is a versatile and cost-effective general purpose instrument.

Benefits | |
Full Tunability across C Band or L Band | Ideal for telecommunications applications; full coverage of DWDM channels. |
Smarter Calibration for Enhanced Power Uniformity | Minimize inter-channel power variance with enhanced power uniformity between channels. |
0.01pm Tuning Resolution | Tune to anywhere within C or L band with a high 0.01pm tuning resolution. |
Narrow 100kHz Linewidth, up to 16.5 dBm of Power | High stability 100kHz linewidth makes it an ideal candidate for some of the most demanding applications, such as coherently modulated high-speed communications. |
Polarization Maintaining Output | The slow axis of polarization is aligned with the output connector key as per industry standards. The user may choose to use polarization maintaining (PM) fiber or standard singlemode fiber (SMF). |
Powerful Software Controls | The Laser 1000 Series is fully programmable via industry standard SCPI protocols and drivers are available for Python and LabVIEW. It also comes with an easy-to-use GUI that can be used on any device with a modern web browser. |
USB or Ethernet Operation | Connect via USB or Ethernet for simple setup and operation. |
Excellent Measurement Correlation with our Optical PXI Modules | Shared product architecture lets you validate your system and test requirements in the lab with the benchtop version, and scale up to high-volume automated production testing with the Laser 1000 Series PXIe module. |
