The JDSU Benchtop BBS series provides a wide wavelength and high output power source within the 1525 to 1610 nm window. Its superior performance is achieved by pumping erbium-doped fiber to generate amplified spontaneous emission combined with specialized optical filters to achieve optimal flatness over its operating wavelength range. Through optimization of spectral power density, spectral uniformity and optical stability, the broadband source maximizes your capabilities of optical component spectral measurements and systems compliance tests both in manufacturing and research and development (R&D) environments. The Benchtop models provide specialized variants and optical performance not available in the Multiple Application Platform (MAP) product line. Additional Benchtop BBS models are available in the MAP BBS cassette product line.
