Stabilized Light Source

The SLS-200 stabilized light source is a highly configurable, switched-output platform with LED, laser, and SLED options. It’s offered in compact rack enclosures—1U half rack, 2U half rack, and 2U full rack—supporting up to 8, 16, and 48 outputs respectively. Remote control is available over USB or Ethernet (SCPI), and common connector types (SC, LC, FC, ST) are supported.

The SLS-200 can be built with up to 24 discrete lasers or LEDs in one chassis, and you can mix source types, wavelengths, fiber types, and output power levels to match your application. Calibration is generally not required due to the source stability in power and wavelength.

As a switched-output system, the SLS-200 routes its internal sources to many ports, enabling dense multi-port test setups in a single box (up to 48 outputs in the 2U full rack).

For CWDM and other wavelength plans, DFB configurations cover nominal wavelengths from 1271 to 1611 nm (selectable in 20 nm steps). Typical DFB output power options include 0, 10, 13, 20, 23, and 26 dBm, with < 1 nm source bandwidth and < 3 nm center-wavelength accuracy. FP lasers are available at 1310/1490/1550/1625 nm with < 10 nm bandwidth and < 15 nm center-wavelength accuracy, and LED options include 850/1300 nm with typical outputs of −18 dBm (850 nm) and −21 dBm (1300 nm). Power stability is ±0.02 dB over 1 hour with ≤ 1 °C temperature change.
