MAP C+L Band Optical Light Source Module (mBBS)

100 mW Amplified Emission Broadband Light Source LightDirect module for MAP Series Platform

The MAP Broadband Light Source (mBBS-C1) provides an amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) output that is ultra-stable, spectrally flattened and high-power density across the extended C-band and L-band.

The Multiple Application Platform (MAP) Broadband Source (mBBS-C1) is a third-generation erbium doped fiber-based design. The mBBS-C1 delivers 100mW of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) across the extended C-band and the L-band.  The ultra-stable, depolarized optical output is spectrally flat to within 1.8dB and shows power stability better than 0.02dB. These characteristics make it ideal for several applications including noise loading during OSNR compliance test, power loading of optical amplifiers during gain, and noise figure measurements or passive component characterization. Due to extreme power stability, this source is often used for optical calibration of power meters and variable attenuators.

Highlights

  • >100mW depolarized output power over the extended C-band and the L-band
  • Power flatness < 1.8dB
  • Ultra-high power stability
  • LXI-compliant interfaces and IVI drivers

Applications

  • Source for optical component spectral tests
  • OSNR noise loading for receiver and systems compliance tests
  • Power loading for optical amplifier testing
  • Ultra-stable source for Optical calibration systems
