## Description

Funding is available to purchase a laser-based photonic component testing system which is capable of rapidly modifying the wavelength \(>100 nm/s sweep rate\) with a high level of precision \(sub-picometer wavelength resolution\)\. Such a system must also be able to accurately measure the wavelength-dependent power to allow for characterisation of a device under test \(DUT\)\. Such a system would strongly complement the photonics capabilities available to the QTIC/BIZ community\.
