Laser Diodes & Sources
The Our Fiber-Coupled SLD Source is designed for easy coupling and straightforward control of a superluminescent diode (SLD). Each system is equipped with a single FC/APC connector output, and the drive electronics incorporate high-precision, low-noise auto-feedback to ensure constant output power. A temperature control unit is integrated to maintain optimal operating conditions. The user interface features an intuitive LCD display, allowing independent control of output power and temperature settings by the two front rotating knobs. The SLDS includes a universal power supply that supports operation from 100 to 240 VAC without requiring manual voltage selection, and is supplied with both US and European standard line cords. Convenient fuse access is located on the rear panel.

Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
Superluminescent (SLED) Light Source: Laboratory optical integration depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 830nm, 1060nm, 1310nm, 1450nm, 1550nm, 1600nm, 1650nm, 930nm, 780nm wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (SM28, PM1310, PM1550, Hi1060, PM1950, PM980, PM850, SM800, 780HP, PM780) must match the connected components.

Technical FAQ
Fiber Type: SM28, PM1310, PM1550, Hi1060, PM1950, PM980, PM850, SM800, 780HP, PM780 · Connector: FC/APC. Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
Wavelength: 830nm, 1060nm, 1310nm, 1450nm, 1550nm, 1600nm, 1650nm, 930nm, 780nm. Check the Laser Diodes & Sources passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
Share your wavelength, fiber type, connector, power handling and control requirements and we will qualify the matching configuration and part number.
