ASE Light Source - C Band with Gain Flattening Filter

This ASE source is a broadband optical light source that covers entire C band (1530~1565nm). Optical fiber gratings based gain flattening filter (GFF) is used in this instrument to generate a flat output spectrum, which has typical power ripple of +/-1dB across the C band. It is an ideal source for the measurement of optical passive devices, DWDM sub-systems, etc.

Features:

• Broad output spectrum covering C band
• High output power (10dBm to 20dBm)
• High stability (0.02dB over 1 hour)
• Flattened spectrum density using gain flattening filter

Applications:

• Fiber gratings, WDM filters and components test and manufacturing
• Optical communication system test
• Noise tests in DWDM systems

Specifications:
