1. Operation Steps-1030nm ASE Broadband Light Source

Step1.Unpacking and Assembly: Please check whether the accessories are complete

before assembly.

Step2.Connecting Fiber Jumpers: Open the dust cap at the fiber connector or flange, check the fiber end face, and connect the fiber or splice the fiber to the device or power meter to be tested after confirming that there is no pollution or damage.

Step3.Connecting the Power Adapter and Serial Cable: Connect the light source module and the power adapter; connect the light source module and the computer with a USB-RS232 signal cable. (Note: The computer needs to install the serial port driver first. The driver can be found on the CD-ROM or obtained from the Box Optronics company.)

Setp4.Use: Open the light source activation switch; the light source output indicator light is on, and there is optical power output. At this time, the working current and optical power value are the parameters set by the host computer at the last shutdown. They can be modified and saved in the host computer software (only for the model version with adjustable power).

Step5.After use, click the close button, turn off the power supply, and disconnect the fiber connection.

Operation Notes and Maintenance

● Prior to connecting fiber optic connectors, specialized cleaning tools must be used to thoroughly clean the end faces of the connectors. Additionally, a fiber end-face inspector should be utilized to carefully examine the surfaces to ensure they are completely free of dust and contaminants before connecting them via a fiber flange. During the cleaning, inspection, and connection of fiber optic end faces, it is imperative to ensure that the light source is in a deactivated state; under no circumstances should these operations be performed while light is being transmitted. Once use is complete and the connector has been disconnected from other fiber optic connectors, the fiber connector must be fitted with a protective dust cap.

● Broadband ASE light source models with an output power of 200 mW or higher may feature an output pigtail terminated with an FC/APC connector. However, this connector is intended solely for user-initiated output power monitoring (by connecting to an optical power meter) or for interfacing with an FC-terminated fiber collimator to direct the laser output into free space. It is strongly advisednotto use a flange adapter to directly mate this connector with the pigtails of other user-owned fibers or devices; doing so carries a significant risk of damaging both the fiber connector and the amplifier unit itself. If interconnection with other fibers is required, it is recommended to utilize fusion splicing; furthermore, ensure that the types of fibers being connected are mutually compatible.

● It is strongly advised against frequently inserting or removing the fiber optic connectors at the output port, in order to prevent dust contamination—which can lead to increased insertion loss—or the burning of the fiber connector's end face.

● When starting up, first ensure that both the power switch and the key switch are turned off, then connect the power supply. When shutting down, first turn off the key switch, and disconnect the power supply only after the output indicator light has extinguished. Never directly cut off the power supply while the light source is in operation.

● Please take precautions against moisture, dust, and corrosion; it should be stored in a dry place.
