With high spectral density and excellent stability, MPBC’s Broadband sources are perfect for characterizing passive optical components such as filters, WDM couplers and Bragg gratings. With a non-polarized output and excellent stability, it is ideally suited for both production floor or laboratory measurements, ensuring accurate and repeatable results.  Typical measurements include insertion loss, optical return loss, gain flatness and wavelength dependence characterizations.  

For active devices such as optical amplifiers, our Comb Source allows for easy characterization of high power EDFAs and Raman where gain, gain tilt and noise figure can all be measured with a single scan of the OSA.
