Product Introduction

This is an L-band ASE Broadband Light Source offers a stable, 10~200mW high-power light source in the L-band wavelength range (1567~1603nm). Designed for high-precision applications, it provides a broad spectrum and low-noise output, making it ideal for optical communication, fiber sensing, and medical imaging.

Operation Steps

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

● It is not recommended to frequently plug and unplug the fiber optic connector at the output end. This helps avoid contamination with dust that can increase insertion loss or cause the connector end face to burn.

● When starting up, first confirm that the power switch and key switch are turned off, then connect the power. When shutting down, first turn off the key switch; after the status indicator light goes out, disconnect the power. Do not cut off the power directly while the light source is operating.

● If the output fiber needs to be connected to another fiber, it is recommended to use a fusion splicer.

● Please take precautions against moisture, dust, and corrosion; store in a dry place.
