C-band ASE source (Bench Top)
A family of bench-top C-band ASE light sources built on Er-doped fiber, spanning economical, flat-spectrum, wide-range, high-power and Gaussian-spectrum variants.
Technical overview
The spec table lists six models: ASE-1550-25 (>= +14 dBm, >= -10 dBm/nm), ASE-FL7010 (>= +16 dBm, >= -8 dBm/nm), ASE-FL7012 (1530 to 1570 nm, >= +16 dBm, >= -7 dBm/nm), ASE-FL7013 (1531 to 1563 nm, >= +16 dBm, >= -3 dBm/nm), the high-power ASE-FL7050 (>= +22 dBm, >= 0 dBm/nm) and the Gaussian-spectrum ASE-1560-G20 (1552 to 1568 nm, >= +13 dBm, FWHM >= 8 nm). All use G.652 SMF with FC/PC connectors and built-in isolators in an 88 x 260 x 350 mm chassis. The page text refers to seven models and names an ASE-C-10S that does not appear in the table.
