C+L-band ASE light source (Bench Top)
Bench-top ASE light sources covering the C-band and L-band together, in stability-optimised, flatness-optimised and high-power variants.
Technical overview
The spec table lists five models. The ASE-FL7002 (>= +13 dBm), ASE-FL7004 (>= +16.5 dBm) and high-power ASE-FL7015 (>= +23 dBm) each span 1530 to 1610 nm with spectral power density quoted separately at the band edges and across 1540 to 1600 nm. The flatness-optimised ASE-FL7006-15 and -17 span 1528 to 1603 nm at >= +15 and >= +17 dBm with >= -8 and >= -6 dBm/nm respectively. 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 six models and names an ASE-CL-13S that does not appear in the table.
