SLD broadband light source
Design Tools
The SLD (Superluminescent Diode) broadband light source employs a superluminescent semiconductor diode light-emitting chip, which outputs a broadband spectrum with low coherence and simultaneously possesses a high output optical power spectral density. Its operating wavelengths can be selected from bands such as O, S, C, L, and others, making it suitable for applications such as optical OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and optical fiber sensing.
Features & Applications
- Ultra-wide spectrum
- Fiber optic sensing
- Low spectral ripple
