This unit
The Keysight 83400A Lightwave Source Module is a specialized optical signal source designed for the 8702 Series Lightwave Component Analyzers. This Fabry-Perot laser module delivers stable, high-accuracy output for optical component characterization, transmission system validation, and photonics research. It operates at 1300 nm with intensity modulation capability across a 300 kHz to 3 GHz bandwidth, interfacing with standard 9/125 µm single-mode fiber through Agilent PC-type optical connectors.

Compatibility & Integration Designed exclusively as a plug-in module for Agilent/HP 8702 Series Lightwave Component Analyzers. Power supply requires IEC 127 5x20 mm fuses: 0.315 A at 250 V (100/120 V operation) or 0.16 A at 250 V (220/240 V operation). Ambient temperature must remain at least 4°C below maximum operating temperature per 100 watts cabinet dissipation. Ensure unobstructed airflow for convection cooling.
