IntelliGain® ASE Broadband Light Sources

1525-1605 nm; Output Power >11, >16 dBm; Spectral Density >-10, >-17 dBm/nm; Output Connector FC/PC; Fiber Type SMF-28

BaySpec’s IntelliGain® series of customizable broadband amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) light sources are designed to accommodate many different telecommunications, fiber sensing, fiber optic gyroscope, and test & measurement capabilities in the near- and shortwave infrared region of 1525 nm to 1605 nm.

IntelliGain® broadband ASE light sources are based on amplified spontaneous emission in erbium-doped fibers and are developed using BaySpec’s proprietary EDFA technology. These light sources provide superior optical output to the conventional LED sources over a broad spectral range. Different power levels and multi-output options are available and suitable for a variety of different applications, providing cost effective solutions to the market.

BaySpec devices benefit from low-cost, field-proven telecommunication components to provide rugged, reliable solutions.
