The ASE broadband light source in the 1060nm band is based on ytterbium-doped fiber and diode pumped laser. The spectrum covers 1030~1080nm, and can also be extended to 1010nm and 1100nm bands. At the same time, it has high output power and good flatness. It can be used for optical fiber device testing, FBG grating production, etc. Let’s check it now.
Shown in the video above is a 1060nm ASE bandwidth light source desktop button control. It comes with RS232 interface, which can be customized by software control. The pluggable fiber is easy to damage the interface, and the single mode optical fiber here is fixed and cannot be plugged. The power can be adjusted through the button, the maximum output power is 100mW, 10~100% output power can be adjusted, and the adjustment accuracy is 1mW.
The test data report of the ASE broadband light source.
The spectrogram. The center wavelength is 1060nm.
Button operation introduction:
After opening, the LCD displays the current power and wavelength range.
Press the middle square button to start setting the power.
The left and right keys are used to select the digit to be adjusted.
The up and down keys are used to adjust the size of the value.
Finally press the square button to confirm the settings.
Turn the key to ON, and the Active indicator lights up, indicating that the laser starts to output.
The laser in this band is infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye.
Here, an infrared sensitive film is used to observe the light spot.
