This unit
The ILX Lightwave FOS-79800D is a precision fiber optic source module engineered for WDM system and component testing in telecommunications and research environments. It delivers spectrally pure, stable optical signals across the C- and L-bands with exceptional wavelength accuracy and power repeatability. The module integrates into the FOM-7900B mainframe platform, supporting remote control via GPIB/IEEE-488 and RS-232 interfaces for automated test sequences and multi-channel configurations.
