Narrowband ASE Source

The narrowband ASE source developed by Multiwave Photonics is a highly innovative product that can replace laser sources with significant advantages in manyBroadb_sourceMainText.jpg applications, like optical pumping, optical sensing and low coherence imaging. The design of the narrowband ASE source allows the emission spectral width to be tailored at the factory from a minimum of 0.1 nm to about 30 nm, while maintaining high quantum efficiency and superior spectral density with a total output power up to 30 mW. The spectral width can be optimized for different applications: a 5 nm spectral width is useful in FBG based sensing systems; a 3 nm spectral width with Gaussian intensity profile is useful in low coherence imaging; and a 0.4 nm spectral width is useful for pumping nonlinear devices, eliminating SBS which is a limiting factor when using laser sources.
