Description
Fibolux Fiber Optical Broadband Sources are cutting-edge solutions designed to harness the power of Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) within optically pumped rare-earth doped fibers. These sources are engineered to provide a wide spectral width, ranging from a few nanometers to the entire emission wavelength range of the dopant, such as Erbium ions. This flexibility makes them an invaluable tool in various optical applications, offering a robust and reliable light source for precise measurements.
The optical power density of Fibolux fiber optical ASE sources is notably higher than that of traditional broadband fiber-coupled semiconductor devices, all while maintaining a lower noise level, specifically reduced intensity noise (RIN). This characteristic, combined with the strong incoherence due to the absence of residual resonator effects, positions ASE sources as an ideal choice for test and measurement applications. Their high power stability and ability to perform without interference make them indispensable in the field of optical component characterization.
Fibolux sources are particularly effective in the C- and L-bands, which are crucial for the spectral characterization of optical components, including those in the Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) market. These sources are also integral to various White Light Interferometer-based instruments, providing the precision and reliability required for advanced optical testing. With options for wavelength shaping and additional versions available, Fibolux ensures that each product can be tailored to meet specific needs, making it a versatile choice for professionals in the optical industry.
