Description: The ASE FL7004 is a broadband white light test source for the C&L regions (1530nm to 1610nm). It has been designed to satisfy the demand for higher power, longer wavelength test equipment for the growing L-band market while also supporting the existing market for C-band test instruments. The FL7004 is the lowest noise, high power C&L band test source available today, with more than +16.5dBm (45mW) of output power. The ASE-FL7004 series ASE test sources are designed to preform well beyond the industry standard. Key features of all the ASE models include low intensity noise, broadband output, and exceptional wavelength stability. This device takes advantage of an erbium doped flouride fiber that is pumped with a single 1480nm laser diode to produce 45mW (16.5dBm) of broadband white light. This rare-earth fiber design allows for a higher degree of power and wavelength stability than conventional silica fibers with multiple pumping lasers. The ASE-FL7004 White Light Test Source produces a broadband output spectrum of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) ranging from 1520nm to 1620nm. It is constructed from a single Erbium-doped fluoride fiber optically pumped by a single laser diode.
