We have developed the AQ2200-136 Optical Attenuator compact tunable laser source module with a wide wavelength range of 200 nm (1440 to 1640 nm) and a maximum output power of +7 dBm or greater, as a plug-in module for the AQ2200 Optical Attenuator multi-application test system (MATS). When combined with the AQ2200 series of optical sensors or the AQ6317B/C/AQ6319 optical spectrum analyzer, the AQ2200-136 Optical Attenuator enables users to measure the wavelength-dependent loss (WDL) of an optical device without any personal computers. In this paper, we describe the features and structure of the AQ2200-136 Optical Attenuator.
