ASE broadband light source from Viavi

Description

The Multiple Application Platform (MAP) Broadband Source (BBS) Cassette combines the optical performance of the JDS Uniphase BBS benchtop instruments with the flexibility and modularity of the MAP.

Utilizing the latest advances in erbium technology, the MAP BBS offers an amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) output that features flattened high power density across the C-band or C+L-band. The source provides high spectral stability.

The addition of the BBS Cassette can be used for many applications including OSNR (optical signal to noise ratio) experiments, calibration of test equipment, and noise source for active or passive component testing.

The MAP BBS models provide specialized variants and optical performance not available in the Benchtop BBS. Additional BBS models are available in the Benchtop BBS product line for applications requiring higher output power.

Highlights

• This optical source cassette, when installed in the MAP chassis, complies to CE requirements plus UL3101-1 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.1010.1, meets the requirements of Class 3B in standard IEC 60825- 1(2002), and complies with 21 CFR 1040.1 except deviations per Laser Notice No.50, July 2001.
