Technical Specifications - THORLABS ASE730 User Manual

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. The very broad output spectrum has been achieved by utilizing an erbium
doped fluoride fiber pumped by a single laser diode, this design allows for a higher degree of power and wavelength
stability than conventional silica fibers. The output fiber is a standard SMF28 silica fiber.
