Exhibits
The optical-component business develops, manufactures and sells components needed for optical-communication R&D and production; the components are sold to companies that supply transmission equipment to communication carriers, integrated into the transmission equipment, and then delivered to the carriers. Its optical components include optical monitors for monitoring optical transmission-signal intensity in fiber, variable optical attenuators for controlling optical intensity, and optical filters for separating and combining wavelength-multiplexed signals. The optical-instrument business develops, manufactures and sells tunable light sources and various optical measurement instruments mainly for the optical-communications market, where manufacturing, research and development require experiments using light at different intensities and wavelengths. The tunable light source generates specified wavelengths in bands mainly used for optical communication and is used by universities, research institutes and optical-communication manufacturers worldwide. The company also develops, manufactures and sells OCT light sources and OCT system products for general industry and ophthalmic medical devices for medical settings. The TSL-570 is a high-performance tunable laser available for quick delivery, with low-noise, fast and accurate testing, sweep speed up to 200 nm/s, accuracy down to ±2 pm, 0.1 pm resolution, a sealed cavity for wavelength stability, wavelength options from 1240 to 1680 nm and a fine-tuning scan range of 10 GHz. Built on 33 years of tunable-laser manufacturing experience, the TSL-570 combines a wide tuning range with high output and high signal-to-noise ratio, and its new optical-cavity design provides precise speed control up to 200 nm/s with sub-picometer resolution. The TSL-570 is used for optical-component characterization, photonic integrated-circuit testing, quantum photonics, spectroscopy and sensors, provides a touch-panel display plus Ethernet, GPIB and USB remote-control interfaces and Wake-on-LAN, and is available in models covering 1240 to 1680 nm with output powers up to 20 mW. Its sealed laser cavity is mode-hop-free and provides stable output at every wavelength, with 0.1 pm resolution and 90 dB/0.1 nm spontaneous-source-emission performance, and it integrates with MPM-series optical power meters, OSU-series optical switches and PCU-series polarization controllers for Swept Test System measurements of wavelength-dependent loss and polarization-dependent loss. TSL-570 features include +13 dBm output power, 90 dB/0.1 nm signal-to-noise ratio, wavelength accuracy of ±20 pm for Type A, ±5 pm for Type C and ±2 pm for Type P, and tuning ranges of Ext O-Band 1240 to 1380 nm, O-Band 1260 to 1360 nm, ES-Band 1355 to 1485 nm, Ext ES-Band 1355 to 1505 nm, CL-Band 1500 to 1630 nm, SCL-Band 1480 to 1640 nm and U-Band 1560 to 1680 nm, with O-Band, ES-Band, CL-Band and U-Band not available in Type P. TSL-570 applications include characterization of tunable filters, interleavers, Fiber Bragg gratings, couplers, splitters, isolators, switches, WSS, wavelength blockers and DWDM components; silicon-photonic waveguides including micro-cavity ring resonators; photonic integrated circuits; quantum optics; fiber-optic sensors; optical communications; spectroscopy; and interferometry. On July 1, 2025, santec announced completion of its acquisition of MOGLabs, the Australian developer of CEL cateye diode lasers and precision quantum instruments, with those products made available through santec's global platform.
