Common Santec ECL-200 faults: output power drift, mode hops, fiber pigtail connector damage, wavelength inaccuracy. Common faults include output power drift after extended use, mode hops at specific wavelengths, and fiber pigtail connector damage. Full alignment and piezo calibration typically restore performance to spec.
