ASE light source test report
Overview CivilLaser offers customizable ASE light sources designed to accommodate many different telecommunications, fiber sensing, fiber optic gyroscope, and test & measurement capabilities in the near- and shortwave infrared C+L band region. An ASE (Amplified Spontaneous Emission) broadband low coherence light source is an ideal instrument for optical component spectral measurement and system compliance testing in manufacturing and R&D environments. The new generation of ASE sources have no high frequency ripples, which makes them very useful for sensor interrogation applications. What is ASE light source? ASE light source is one type of optical light sources, where the emission is generated by Amplified Spontaneous Emission. An optical gain medium emits light spontaneously when it is optically/electrically pumped, and if the pumping of the gain medium is strong enough, the “spontaneous” emission is amplified via the “stimulated” emission – this phenomenon is cal...
