Until recently, two choices of optical source were available on the market: Laser or LED.

​

The former have strong power in small heart fibers. The seconds have a stability in power and a broad spectrum.

 

Combining strong powers and large spectra, all in a small heart fiber, was impossible.

​

Until the arrival of new optical sources: SLD or Super Luminescent Diode. They combine high powers (several mW in a single-mode fiber) and broad spectrum (up to 110nm or more per combination).

​

The stability is better than 0.1dB over 24 hours and the RIN is limited to photon noise (with our proprietary electronics).

​

unfortunately the choice remains very limited depending on the type of case desired.

Available either in a Butterfly version for research, or in a Benchtop laboratory version.

 

What about a plug & play version for an industrialist or a laboratory that does not want to waste time configuring a source, with the risk of breaking the fiber or the chip itself?

​

 

Phonoptics is therefore offering these SLD light sources for the first time. Easy to use, for the production or research sector. With the widest choice on the market: up to 80 different references. All at an unbeatable price!
