Introducing the FLS-2200 Broadband Source
Broadband Source 3
Typical Applications
Typical Applications
You can use this light source to:

qualify components during development or to perform Pass/Fail tests
during production when you use the source with an optical spectrum
analyzer (OSA).

perform maintenance or troubleshooting tasks on a WDM network
when the source is combined with an OSA.

perform polarization mode dispersion (PMD) measurements when
you use the source with the FPMD-5600 Femtosecond PMD Analyzer
and the M9700 Passive Depolarizer.

perform polarization-dependent loss (PDL) measurements when you
use the source with an OSA.
The typical devices tested include passive optical network (PON)
components, CWDM components, attenuators, photonic switches,
broadband couplers, specialty couplers or multiplexers, Bragg gratings (the
source features a bandwidth large enough to test many Bragg gratings
simultaneously), etc.
A typical setup including both the FLS-2200 Broadband Source and an
IQS-5250B Optical Spectrum Analyzer is shown below.
