Rack broadband ASE light sources

Unpolarized broadband optical sources for spectral and component measurements.

  • 1524-1625 nm family coverage
  • Up to 42 nm spectral width
  • Up to 26 dBm listed output

Select a C-band, L-band or combined-band configuration using the needed spectral shape and power. The family wavelength span is not the same as the instantaneous spectral width.

Configuration options

Each row is a separate configuration. Limits from different rows must not be combined.

Conditions and configuration notes

  • The selected source spectrum and measurement conditions must be agreed; the full family span is not a single 101 nm-wide specification.
  • Confirm whether output-power and ripple limits apply over the complete chosen spectrum.

Applications to discuss

  • Component characterization
  • Fibre sensing
  • Optical test benches

Specify your configuration

Precisometer supports selection and integration. Contact us for a quotation against an agreed configuration.

  • Target wavelength or passband and input/output power
  • Gain, noise, timing and polarization requirements
  • Optical connections, control interface and installation conditions
