It was found that the "stabilized" FBGs actually drift slightly with time (a few picometers per year).
The unit provides eight calibration references between 1297 nm and 1306 nm and 12 references between 1531 nm and 1550 nm, each with a stability of a few picometers.
They enable fast, high-resolution, low-noise measurements with 100 nm/s mode-hop-free tuning, 30 picometer open-loop accuracy, and rugged 24/7 reliability.
