The EXFO T500S is a high-power, continuously tunable laser source designed for advanced optical testing, R&D and photonics applications. Featuring industry-leading spectral purity and peak output power up to 14 dBm, the T500S delivers fast bidirectional tuning at up to 200 nm/s and mode-hop-free operation for reliable wavelength sweeps across a broad range from 1240 nm to 1680 nm. With configurable sweep and tune modes, narrow linewidth and automated control options, this compact half-rack laser is ideal for spectral characterization of passive optical components, photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and high-precision lab measurements. Ethernet connectivity and an intuitive user interface make the T500S both powerful and easy to integrate into testing workflows.
