Luxmux’s Multi-SLED® (superluminescent diode) is a compact broadband light source that operates within the near-infrared region. The product itself is a fully enclosed Integrated Spectral Bench (ISB) containing Luxmux’s proprietary 32-pin butterfly package that uses a set of superluminescent diodes, one monitor diode for each SLED (enabling better power control and monitoring capabilities), an integrated isolator, a thermoelectric cooler (TEC), and a driver circuit to provide overlapping spectral coverage. This user-controlled box enables complete control of up to six light sources enclosed.
The ISB2 includes spectral coverage from 1265nm to 1725nm, with up to 40mW of optical power. Users operate with complete control of the temperature from a remote device (e.g., PC or laptop) or from the dip switches on the side of the bench. The bench includes six monitor diodes, and is capable of USB, RS-232, or Ethernet connection. The ISB2 is compact and easy to use, making it a great fit for manufacturer assemblies requiring light power.
The Multi-SLED uses Luxmux’s technology of spectral stitching to provide extensive spectral coverage. This technology intergrates multiple wavelengths into a single broad spectrum, and is designed for optimum coupling efficiency. The MultiSLED product lines can be spectrally tailored to suit specific application needs. This provides exceptional flexibility and usability, making these sources ideal for the applicationsincluded below:
KEY FEATURES
• Between two and six superluminescent diodes (SLEDs) in a single unit
• All SLEDs can be run from 0-100% of maximum rating
• Fiber-coupled output power from 12mW to 40mW, Free Space output power from 35mW to 130mW
• Bandwidth FWHM from 100nm to 460nm
• Luxmux’s patented technology for spectral stitching provides optimum power and bandwidth
• Multiple communication interfaces: USB, RS-232, Ethernet
APPLICATIONS
• Optical Component Testing
• Telecom Test Equipment
• Medical Optical Coherence Tomography
• Industrial Optical Coherence Tomography
• Biomedical Imaging Systems
• Optical Sensing
• White Light Interferometry & Chromatic Dispersion
• Research and Development
LIGHT TYPE ORDERING OPTION
• Low-Degree of Polarization (DOP): the ISB2 provides under 5% DOP across entire 1265nm – 1725nm range. This minimizes polarization sensitivity of fiber sensors, and reduces the effects of polarization dependent loss
• Free Space: for higher-power applications that do not require fiber optics, this selection results in a direct laser beam
• Power Meter: an integrated InGaAs Power Meter can be added to ISB2 models upon customer request. The power meter adapters can come with FC/APC, FC/PC or SMA connector.
