ASE-FL7002 In Stock

The ASE-FL7002 White Light Test Source from Thorlabs is a state-of-the-art testing equipment designed for the growing L-band market as well as the existing C-Band instruments. The source is made from a single Er-doped fluoride fibre and is optically pumped by a single laser diode. With a wide emission range from 1520nm to 1620nm, this supplies a full spectrum of broadband output amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). The ASE-FL7002 is one of the quietest C&L band test sources in its class, making it the perfect option for customers needing longer wavelength test systems. It offers unbeatable performance and noise suppression capabilities.

This testing resource utilizes a specialized rare-earth fiber pattern for unparalleled power and wavelength dependability when compared to the traditional silica fibers. Additionally, it includes multiple pumping lasers for greater precision. The output fiber is a standard SMF28 silica fiber, which delivers 20mW (13dBm) of broadband white light. The device takes advantage of the erbium doped fluoride fiber, which is pumped with a single 1480nm laser diode, to produce an output that is both powerful and stable.

The ASE-FL7002 features excellent stability, with a power stability specification of ±0.005dB (15min.). The average peak-to-peak noise values are typically in the 0.002dBm range for the 15 minute test and in the 0.005dBm range for the 48 hour test. This test source performs exceptionally well, outpacing the competition in both short-term and long-term stability.

After an extensive burn-in period, the device can be set up to filter out a 2nm wide slice of the output spectrum. The output power stability of this 2nm window is then monitored, which guarantees that the system has been optimized for the best possible wavelength stability. With a total output power of 13.7dBm and a <4.9% degree of polarization, the ASE-FL7002 offers exceptional performance that is backed by our commitment to quality and reliability.

In conclusion, the Thorlabs ASE-FL7002 White Light Test Source is a cutting-edge testing equipment that offers low noise, broadband output with a single pump laser, and exceptional stability. This device is designed to deliver the best possible results for users looking for longer wavelength test equipment, and it is sure to meet the most demanding requirements for production or development testing.
