More Information
VIAVI Solutions / JDSU / BCP 400-12T-138 Laser Transmitter Overview
Features:
- High Speed > 1GHz
- Five Wavelength Options (670nm to 1550nm)
- Universal Optical Connector
- Analog or Digital Modulation Inputs
- Stabilized Optical Output Levels to 10mW
In the digital mode, the unit accepts any input pulse pattern from DC to isolated sub-nanosecond pulses, and in continuous or burst-mode format. The digital input logic threshold is front-panel adjustable to enable optical output pulse width optimization. The laser bias point is rear-panel adjustable for extinction ratio and waveform control over a limited range.
In the analog mode, the laser output is set at a 50% bias level, and the input analog signal is routed directly to the laser through a termination and surge protection circuit. The optical modulation index is settable by input level from 0% to 90%, minimum. This operating mode is highly useful for testing the linear bandwidth of detectors and detector-receiver combinations to beyond 1GHz.
A universal optical connector interface on the front panel permits the optical connector to be user-changeable. Simple screw-on connector adapters for all industry-standard connector types are available. This connector also allows easy optical cleaning without removing the instrument cover. When the instrument is not in use, the permanently attached dust cap simply snaps in place over any adapter.
BCP was acquired by JDSU in 1998.
The JDSU 400-12T-138 Laser Transmitter may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

VIAVI Solutions / JDSU / BCP 400-12T-138 Laser Transmitter Description
Functions
Benchtop 870 nm laser transmitter used as an optical test source, converting modulated electrical signals from a BNC input into a stabilized optical output via a PC-terminated fiber interface using the vendor’s universal optical adapter standard. Provides controlled, single-wavelength output for characterization, calibration, and verification of fiber-optic links and components in lab and production test environments, supporting interchangeable front-end adapters for different connector types and integration into broader optical test setups.

Great company with great people. Always a pleasure to do business with Artisan!
- Amelia C. Google
Have dealt with Artisan for over a decade and have always found them to be knowledgeable, professional and have a great inventory to choose from! Great company!
- Young L.
Artisan isn’t just a supplier with inventory. Their engineers helped diagnose a problem over the phone that would have taken us weeks to figure out!
- Arvind P.
We have some test equipment in our lab from the 1990's that stopped working about 2 years ago. It sat in the corner collecting dust, but we took on a project last month that required more machines. After talking to Artisan, we found out we could get parts to fix our machine for much less than buying a new one!
- Brian S.
Artisan saved us headaches and money by helping us find a replacement Tektronix VXI module. Finding quality replacement parts is difficult and I'm glad they had what I needed.
- Ersel T. Google
