• Tunable light sources are required in many optical Tunable lasers are more convenient from operational view point because of following advantages –
    • Only one transmitter part.
    • Independent of operating wavelength
    • It reduces number of different parts to be stocked and handled
    • Capable of being tuned over 8 nm to 20 wavelengths.
    • Wavelength tuning without changing output power.

 

  • Different tunable lasers are -

1 Vertical cavity surface emitting lasers

  1. Mode locked lasers
