A novel digital frequency locking system enables the integration of wavelength lockers with frequency-tuning devices like tunable lasers.

A novel digital frequency locking system enables the integration of wavelength lockers with frequency-tuning devices like tunable lasers The DFL-5720 digital frequency locking system from EXFO Electro-Optical Engineering automatically or manually locks the frequency of a laser source to a reference optical filter like a gas absorption line or a Fabry-Perot transmission peak

With its three programmable input and output ports, the digital frequency locking system is a versatile instrument that uses advanced digital processing to control the frequency of a large variety of tunable devices with precision down to +/-50MHz.

This novel stand-alone instrument replaces an oscilloscope, two function generators, a lock-in amplifier, a feedback loop controller and a programmable signal-processing computer.

"Our digital frequency locking system is a must for transceiver card manufacturers and R and D labs who want to integrate tunable lasers into leading-edge optical subsystems", said Mario Larose, Vice-President of Marketing at EXFO.

"It provides them with tremendous benefits in terms of time to market, ease of use and footprint".
