Description
Multi-Channel Superluminescent Diode Light Source (Multi-SLED)
The Multi-Channel Superluminescent Diode Light Source, or Multi-SLED, by DAYY Photonics is a state-of-the-art broadband light source designed to operate within the near-infrared region. This compact and fully enclosed Integrated Spectral Bench (ISB2) is engineered with DAYY’s proprietary 32-pin butterfly package. It features a sophisticated assembly of superluminescent diodes, each paired with a monitor diode to enhance power control and monitoring capabilities. The inclusion of an integrated isolator, thermoelectric cooler (TEC), and driver circuit ensures overlapping spectral coverage, providing users with complete control over up to six enclosed light sources.
The ISB2 is designed to offer a seamless user experience, allowing for precise temperature control via remote devices such as PCs or laptops, or through the convenient dip switches located on the side of the bench. With its capability to connect through USB, RS-232, or Ethernet, the ISB2 is both compact and user-friendly, making it an ideal choice for manufacturers requiring reliable light power in their assemblies. The device supports various spectral coverages, with SLEDs ranging from 770nm to 1680nm and delivering up to 40mW of optical power.
DAYY’s innovative spectral stitching technology is at the heart of the Multi-SLED, providing extensive spectral coverage by integrating multiple wavelengths into a single, spatially coherent beam. This technology ensures low temporal coherence and broad spectral coverage, allowing for the spectral tailoring of product lines to meet specific application needs.
The flexibility and usability of the Multi-SLED make it an exceptional choice for a wide range of applications, from industrial to biomedical imaging. With its robust design and advanced features, the Multi-SLED stands out as a versatile and powerful tool in the field of photonics.
