Engineered for Compact Versatility

Multiple Laser Types – Choose from N-Type, S-Type, or G-Type for tailored applications from coherent transmission to cost-effective telecom testing and general-purpose optical experiments.
Wide Frequency Tuning – Covers C-band, L-band, and optional C+L with fine resolution (1 MHz for N-Type, 10 MHz for S/G-Type) for wavelength-selective testing and advanced modulation.
Ultra-Compact Design – At just 32 × 82 × 150 mm and 0.5 kg, the DX1 is stackable, portable, and easy to integrate into multi-channel setups or confined optical benches.
Precise Power Control – Adjustable output (C-band: 10–16 dBm, up to 17.8 dBm on S-Type; L-band: 9–14.5 dBm) ensures consistent performance for lab, R&D, and production environments.
USB Control & PC GUI – Intuitive software interface plus SCPI command support for seamless automation with Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, and more.
Set-and-Forget Memory – Automatically stores last operational state for fast repeat testing with minimal setup.
