Newport Corporation has introduced a new family of broadband ASE (amplified spontaneous emission) sources and EDFAs (erbium doped fiber amplifiers) packaged for   in the 1550 nm spectral region. These products leverage advances in diode-pumped erbium doped fiber technology to offer a quantum increase in price/performance metric compared to conventional product designs. The product line includes the FPA-410 and FPA-415 EDFA amplifiers as well as the BBS-410 and BBS-430 broadband sources.

These new products are targeted at laboratory applications in fiber sensing, bio-medicine, telecommunications and spectroscopy. For example, these sources and amplifiers are useful for metrology tasks such as testing fiber optic components and sub-assemblies, characterizing detectors and passive components, such as FBGs, as well as for simulating WDM traffic. These sources and amplifiers are also ideal for emerging applications in fiber optic sensing, bio-medicine and fiber-based spectroscopy. This includes use in optical coherence tomography for non-invasive high resolution imaging.

The BBS-410 and BBS-430 are self-contained sources characterized by high output levels. They generate broadband output though amplification of spontaneous noise in a high gain erbium-doped fiber, resulting in output as high as 14 dBm (25 mW). The BBS-410 output spans the telecommunications C-band (1520-1560nm) and the BBS-430 source emits over the entire C and L-bands (1520-1620 nm).
