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. The package
type of module design are especially useful applications in the passive optical networks (PON).
Features
- Excellent long-term stability and broadband spectra
- High output power and power density
- Low cost
- Low power consumption
- Widely operating temperature range
Applications
- Measurement of optical components for DWDM or CWDM
- Broadband source for fiber gyroscope
- Passive optical network (PON) application
- Optical component tests
- Fiber optics sensor system
- Regular package for medium power output
