This manual contains operation and maintenance information for the MPS−8033 Precision Fiber
Optic Source with laser options 01−06, Cx and Lx WDM telecommunications wavelength band
options, the MPS−8033/55 and MPS−8033/65 Broadband ASE sources and Model 1231 GPIB
Interface. If you want to get started immediately, read Appendix B, Quick Start, first. Appendix B,
Quick Start Guide contains a section for quick familiarization of the 8033 front panel as well as
detailed operation reference.
Product Overview
This section provides an overview of the MPS−8033 Precision Fiber Optic Sources and the
MPS−8033 ASE Broadband Fiber Optic Sources.
MPS-8033 Precision Fiber Optic Sources
Model MPS−8033/01−06, MPS−8033/C1 or C2, and MPS−8033/L1 or L2 series fiber optic sources are
micro−processor controlled laser diode sources that provide up to 20 mW of power at user specified
wavelengths including DFB lasers in the WDM C−Band and L−Band wavelengths plus 850, 980,
1310, 1480, and 1550 nm Fabry Perot lasers. These sources are well suited for exacting laboratory
and production automated test and measurement applications. These include active and passive
component testing for high−precision IL and ORL measurements, environmental testing, and power
meter and detector calibration. Instrument features include user adjustable light power output and
internal modulation frequencies selected via front panel or remotely. High output stability for all
options is achieved by using ILX Lightwave's proven laser diode current and temperature control
technology. Each MPS−8033 comes with a standard GPIB interface and to close the loop with other
lab measurement instruments, the instrument provides a TTL compatible trigger which is
synchronized with the output of the internally modulated signal.
MPS-8033 Broadband 1550 nm ASE Fiber Optic Sources
The MPS−8033/55, and /65 Broadband 1550 nm ASE Sources are highly stabilized, wide spectral
width, fiber−optic sources with output centered in the 1550 telecommunications band. When used in
conjunction with an optical spectrum analyzer, the 8033/55 (/65) can be used for rapid, wide
dynamic range spectral characterization of fiber−optic components such as filters, WDM couplers,
and fiber Bragg gratings. These broadband sources are based on amplified spontaneous emission
from an Erbium−doped fiber which is pumped with a 980 nm laser diode. The instrument's
