ASE Sources
FiberLabs' amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) broadband light sources, covering 850 nm, 980 nm, the 1000 nm band, O-, S-, C-, L-, C+L- and S+C+L-bands in bench-top and OEM module formats. All are specified as broadband, low-coherence and low degree of polarisation (under 5%).
A bench-top amplified spontaneous emission light source in the 850 nm range, using Er-doped fluoride fiber as the gain medium. FiberLabs targets it at optical component testing for 850 nm multimode fiber links and at machine vision illumination invisible to the eye.
A bench-top 980 nm band ASE light source, intended for evaluating optical isolators and other 980 nm band optical devices.
Three bench-top ASE light sources in the 1000 nm (X-) band with different spectral characteristics, for R&D on 1 micron fiber laser components and other 1000 nm band optical devices.
OEM module versions of the three 1000 nm band ASE light sources, for integration into a customer's instrument.
Two bench-top O-band ASE light sources for the 1.3 micron band, using Pr-doped fluoride fiber. FiberLabs positions their lower degree of polarisation against SLDs for test and measurement work where low DOP matters.
OEM module versions of the two O-band ASE light sources, running from 5 VDC with the same optical properties as the bench-top models.
A bench-top high-brightness S-band ASE light source built on the amplified spontaneous emission of Tm-doped fluoride fiber, aimed at characterising S-band optical components.
The OEM module version of the S-band ASE light source, running from 5 VDC with the same optical properties as the bench-top model.
A family of bench-top C-band ASE light sources built on Er-doped fiber, spanning economical, flat-spectrum, wide-range, high-power and Gaussian-spectrum variants.
OEM module versions of the C-band ASE light source family, running from 5 VDC with the same optical properties as the bench-top models, including a compact MSA-size variant.
A bench-top L-band ASE light source for evaluating L-band optical devices and for optical sensing.
The OEM module version of the L-band ASE light source, running from 5 VDC with the same optical properties as the bench-top model.
Bench-top ASE light sources covering the C-band and L-band together, in stability-optimised, flatness-optimised and high-power variants.
OEM module versions of the flatness-optimised C+L-band ASE light sources, running from 5 VDC with the same optical properties as the bench-top models.
An ultra-wideband bench-top ASE light source covering the S-, C- and L-bands in one instrument, for characterising WDM and CWDM optical devices and transmission components.
