Description
Nxtar Technologies, Inc. has developed a series of ASE Broadband Light Sources,
including S, C, L and C+L-bands with total output power from 13dBm to 20dBm.
Different band combinations (S, C, L and C+L) with different power levels and multi-output
options can be provided to meet different applications. All units exhibit excellent
spectrum and power stabilities. With an optical spectrum analyzer, they allow direct
spectrum characterization of passive components, such as fiber bragg gratings, fiber-based
couplers, optical isolator, CWDM and DWDM devices. With modulation capability added,
each output of the channels can be switched to be on or off independently without the
need to turn off the unit.
Features
