Page 3: Technical Specifications
Description: The ASE730 is a broadband white light test source in the 1510nm to 1610nm regions. It has been designed to satisfy the demand for longer wavelength (1550nm to 1600nm) test equipment for the emerging L-band market. This device takes advantage of an erbium doped fluoride fiber that is pumped with a single 1480nm laser diode to produce 30mW (14.77dBm) of white light. -
Page 4: Operation
Do not use an index matching gel with the ASE730. Typically, the use of an index matching gel will not improve the coupling of our standard ultra-polished FC/PC connector. The use of a gel will very often lead to degradation of the performance of the connection in that it effectively traps contaminants that will damage the physically contacting connectors. -
Page 5: Connector Cleaning Procedure
1. Using filtered dry compressed air (Thorlabs item #VRK404) blow the end of the connector to remove any loose contaminants. 2. Apply isopropyl alcohol to a lint free wipe (Thorlabs item #KM32) and clean the side of the connector ferrule and the connector body. -
