ASE Flat Spectrum C-Band Module – OEM

Description

The ASE (Amplified Spontaneous Emission) broadband low coherence light source is an ideal instrument for optical component spectral measurement and system compliance testing in manufacturing and R&D environments. The ASE source comes with a flat spectrum with peak-to-peak ripples less than 1 dB over 1529 nm to 1562 nm, which makes it very useful for Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio and sensor interrogation applications. The unit comes with a nominal 13 dBm output power and it is provided with an internal or external monitor port. The output light is accessed via a pigtailed 9/125 μm singlemode fiber. A variety of standard connector types are available. Custom connectors can also be accommodated. The unit is packaged in a low profile OEM box with built-in driver and microprocessor, with a default RS-232 interface.

Features:

• High output power from 13 dBm
• Flat spectral bandwidth with ripple < ±0.5 dB
• Covers C-band• High stability
• High performance-to-cost ratio
• Optional built-in attenuator
• Pump TEC and current driver included
• RS232

Applications:

• OSNR measurement
• Optical components testing
• Telecom system compliance testing
• Optical fiber sensors and sensing systems
• WDM
• Biomedical imaging
• Coherent communication systems
