THORLABS ASE730 White Light Test Source

The Thorlabs ASE730 White Light Test Source delivers more than 15 dBm of output power across the C and L Band wavelengths (1530 to 1610 nm). This ASE source satisfies the demand for higher power, longer wavelength test equipment in the L Band market, while also supporting existing C-Band test instrumentation. The ASE730 test source is designed to perform well beyond the industry standard. Key features of all of our ASE modules include low intensity noise, broadband output, and exceptional wavelength stability (see Figure 1). This ASE source takes advantage of Erbium-doped fluoride fiber, pumped with a single 1480 nm laser diode, to produce more than 30 mW (15 dBm) of broadband white light. This rareearth fiber design allows for a higher degree of power and wavelength stability than conventional silica fibers with multiple pumping lasers. The output fiber is a standard SMF-28e+ silica fiber. Specifications. Wavelength Range: 1530 - 1610 nm. Total Output Power: >15 dBm (30 mW). Spectral Power Density (Typical) : >-18 dBm/nm at 1530 nm, >-11 dBm/nm for 1540 - 1600 nm, >-18 dBm/nm at 1610 nm. Output Power Stability: ±0.001 dB (15 min After 1 hr Warm Up), ±0.005 dB (Max). Output Connector: FC/PC. Output Fiber: SMF-28e+.



 

Standard Calibration $330.00 *
*This is a Web introductory price for one calibration of the THORLABS ASE730. Price does not in most cases include measurement performance data. Pricing does include NIST traceable calibration and issue of a calibration certificate and calibration label. Pricing may vary slightly due to volume and location of laboratory supporting calibration. Volume pricing may apply. On-site fees may apply depending on logistics, location and volume of work to be completed during the visit.

Coherence Length
Average distance over which superimposed waves lose their phase relationships

Linewidth
Linewidth is the width of a spectral line in terms of wavelength, wave number and frequency.

Power Flatness Versus Wavelength
When changing the wavelength at constant power setting and recording the differences between actual and displayed power levels, the power flatness is ± half the span (in dB) between the maximum and the minimum of the measured power levels.

Spectral Width
Spectral Width is the wavelength interval over which the magnitude of all spectral components is equal to or greater than a specified fraction of the magnitude of the component having the maximum value. In optical communications applications, the usual method of specifying spectral width is the full width at half maximum. This is the same convention used in bandwidth, defined as the frequency range where power drops by less than half (at most -3 dB).

Telecom Bands
Optical fiber communications typically operate in a wavelength region corresponding to one of the following Bands. O Band (original): 1260–1360 nm. E Band (extended): 1360–1460 nm. S Band (short wavelengths): 1460–1530 nm. C Band (conventional): 1530–1565 nm. L Band (long wavelengths): 1565–1625 nm. U Band (ultralong wavelengths): 1625–1675 nm
