Mini Broadband ASE Light Source

Rare-earth-doped silica fibers can generate broadband incoherent light sources operating in the 1.5 to 1.6 micron wavelength region. These light sources are called ASE (Amplified Spontaneous Emission) sources and they can be used to evaluate optical components, optical sensing systems and to be used as incoherent light sources.
Oemarket.com provides mini sized ASE light modules (C band) with various output power levels to choose from and with a gain-flattened option (using gain flatten filter) for flat output spectra.

Features:

• Mini size:90*70*16mm
• Broadband spectrum output, covering C band
• High output power
• High stability
• Easy user interface and control

Applications:

• Fiber grating, DWDM filter, CWDM filter, AWG test
• Optical fiber gyro and fiber sensors
• Fiber communication equipment test

Ordering Information:

ASE-C-M-a-b
a: indicating whether GFF is required; a=G for "with gain flattening filter"; a=N for no GFF.
b: Total Output Power in dBm; b=14 for output power of 14dBm, etc.

Example: ASE-C-M-N-14
