Intune Launch a World 'First' - Lightwave

Intune launches 'First' electronically tunable swept source...

Intune Technologies has launches what it claims is the world's first high-speed swept source based on electronically tunable semiconductor lasers.

Called the Intune INTs1100, the novel source offers the advantage of occupying just one-tenth the size of comparable, existing sources. It emits hundreds of different wavelengths in rapid succession in order to launch light into a device under test.

The source is already in field trials with some of Intune's key customers from a diverse range of growth areas, such as networking, optical sensing, and manufacturing.
