LED light source S5FC Series

broadbandUSB

Features Superluminescent Diodes (SLDs) with Broadband Emissions Centered at 1310 or 1550 nm Single Mode (SM) or Polarization-Maintaining (PM) Fiber Output Channel FC/APC Bulkhead Connector TEC Temperature Stabilized Low Noise Output (<0.1%) USB 2.0 Interface Allows Full Operation Through a PC Interface Every S5FC Ships with a Complete Test Report Thorlabs' Fiber-Coupled SLD Sources provide easy coupling and simple control of Superluminescent Diodes (SLDs). Each system is equipped with a single fiber output, is available with output centered at either 1310 nm or 1550 nm, and can be purchased with either SM or PM fiber. Superluminescent Diodes are excellent high-power broadband light sources for use as ASE Light Sources and in applications like Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Imaging Systems and Fiber Optic Gyroscopes (FOG). The SLDs offered here are indium phosphide (InP) devices manufactured by Thorlabs. The SLD operates from an independent, high-precision, low-noise, constant-current source and temperature control unit. An intuitive LCD interface allows the user to view the parameters for the SLD.
