-
-
- OCh output power
- OCh wavelength AQ
- Line spacing
- Cutoff A (tunable sources)
- Tunability speed (tunable sources)
- Spectral width (tunable sources)
- Line width (light sources)
- Modulation depth (modulated sources)
- Bit rate (max-min) (modulated sources)
- Source noise
- Dependency on bias
