850-nm-band ASE source (Bench Top)
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.
Technical overview
The ASE-0850-02 is specified 840 to 855 nm in the spec table (the product header quotes 830 to 860 nm), with total output power >= +3 dBm and spectral power density >= -20 dBm/nm from 840 to 853 nm. Output is on HI780 fiber with an FC/PC connector and a built-in isolator, in an 88 x 260 x 350 mm chassis. FiberLabs notes ASE output is inherently incoherent and unpolarised, which suits applications where interference or speckle must be minimised.
Features
- Broad Bandwidth
- Low Coherence
- Low DOP (less than 5%)
- Turn-Key Operation
