Fibolux BBS Fiber Optic Broadband Light Sources

Product information "Fibolux BBS Fiber Optic Broadband Light Sources"

1525-1608 nm; Output Power 14-18 dBm; Minimum Power Density -12 dBm/nm; Output Isolation >30, >40 dB; Output Connector FC/PC, FC/APC

Fibotec Fiberoptics’ Fibolux BBS series of fiber optic broadband light sources makes use of the Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) within optically pumped rare earth doped fibers. The spectral width of these light sources ranges by design from a few nm to the entire emission wavelength range of the dopand (e.g. Erbium-Ions).

The optical power density of fiber optic ASE sources is typically higher than that of broadband fiber-coupled semiconductor-based devices at an even lower noise level (RIN). This characteristic and the strong incoherence resulting from the absence of residual resonator effects make ASE-sources an ideal instrument in test and measurement applications.

C- and L-band sources are utilized for spectral characterization of optical components including the DWDM-market. Applications are also found in various White Light Interferometer based instruments.
