About Broadband Light Source – Inphenix Inc. inphenix.com

A broadband light source is a device that is used for multi-wavelength tests and measurements of wavelength-division-multiplexing components. Inphenix offers a wide selection of SLD-based broadband light sources. A broadband light source is available for multiwavelength tests and measurements of wavelength-division-multiplexing components.

Emission bandwidths for broadband laser sources can range from a few nanometers up to hundreds of nanometers. This large bandwidth characteristic results in a low temporal coherence. This means that the emitted light has a low capacity for maintaining its phase over time. These light sources use the amplified spontaneous emission of diode-pumped, erbium-doped fibers.
