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.

ASE Broadband Light Sources
1527-1610 nm; Output Power 13-27 dBm; Termination Receptacle Style, FC/PC, FC/APC, ST, SC, SCA, LC, MU; C, C+L Band; Spectrum Flatness 1.0-2.0 dB OZ Optics’ ASE (Amplified Spontaneous Emission) broadband low coherence light sources are ideal instruments for optical component spectral measurement and system compliance testing in manufacturing and R&D environments. The new generation of ASE sources have no high-frequency ripples, which makes them very useful for sensor interrogation applications. ASE broadband light sources are available to cover the C-band, L-band, or both the C & L bands together. These are available with either a flattened spectral output for demanding applications, or a non-flattened response for less demanding or cost-sensitive applications. A range of output powers are available. The output light is accessed via a female fiber connector receptacle on the front panel. A variety of standard connector types are available. Custom connectors can also be accommodated. ASE broadband light sources are available in bench-top, rackmount or OEM module form factors. The basic version of the source features a built-in microprocessor for applications that require output power adjustment. RS-232 and USB interfaces are included, with the addition of a GPIB interface offered as an option.
