What is the difference between fixed and tunable power versions?

Fixed power versions provide constant output. Tunable versions allow power adjustment from 10% to 100% of the rated output. Both versions are available at the same price.

What fiber options are available?

SM configurations use Hi-1060 fiber (completely unpolarized, PER ≤0.2 dB). PM configurations use PM980 fiber (linear polarization, PER ≥23 dB, available for 10~100 mW only).

Which package forms are available for high-power configurations?

500 mW and 1000 mW configurations use M27 module or B2 benchtop packages. Lower power configurations (10~100 mW) use M20 module or B1 benchtop packages.

1030nm ASE Broadband Source

Name: 1030nm Band ASE Broadband Light Source
Brand: Laser Instrument Store
SKU: ASE-1030-10-SM-M · 1030 nm
Availability: InStock

1030 nm ASE broadband source with 10~1000 mW output, SM/PM fiber, fixed and tunable power options

The 1030 nm band ASE broadband light source is based on ytterbium-doped fiber and a semiconductor pump laser, providing spectral coverage from 1018 to 1044 nm with high output power and a polarization extinction ratio as low as 0.2 dB. It features high output power, excellent spectral flatness, and extremely low DOP (Degree of Polarization). Available in fixed power and tunable power (10%~100%) versions with SM (Hi-1060) or PM (PM980) fiber options. Suitable for fiber sensing, medical imaging, fiber component testing, and FBG characterization. Package options include M20/M27 module and B1/B2 benchtop forms.
