Where to Buy Superluminescent Sources

DK Photonics offers fiber-based broadband ASE sources emitting in the telecom wavelength bands C and/or L or around 1060 nm.

Quantifi Photonics' SLED 1000 Series is a super-luminescent LED light source with high output power, large bandwidth and low spectral ripple. They are available in various wavelengths in compact benchtop or PXI form factors and ideal for test procedures in telecom and datacom applications.

AdValue Photonics offers 2-μm ASE sources: the AP-ASE-2000 with over 170 nm bandwidth and 20 mW output power, and the AP-ASE-2100 with over 100 nm and 10 mW output power. Both come as a turn-key benchtop package.

Spectra Quest Lab offers ASE light sources in the 950-nm and 1040-nm bands. They have a very low gain ripple of typically 0.03 dB (RMS) and relatively flat spectral characteristics with a 3 dB bandwidth above 50 nm; PM fiber-coupled output power is 100 mW (typ.) and have come as turnkey bench-top packages. A current modulation port with 1 MHz bandwidth is provided for high-speed modulation.

Frankfurt Laser Company offers a wide range of superluminescent diodes with center emission wavelengths between 680 nm to 2400 nm. Our portfolio also includes high-power versions with output powers of tens of watts.
