System Light Source

The IQS-2100 Light Source features an exceptional selection of single- or dual-wavelength, singlemode and multimode light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and Fabry-Perot lasers. This source is an essential building block in many test stations, whether for IL, ORL or PDL measurements of broadband components. The IQS-2100’s ORL option enables optimal measurements at 1310, 1550 or 1625 nm. Key Features : - Variable output power of up to 10 dB - Internal modulation of up to 2 kHz - Polarized LED option for PDL or PMD measurements - Temperature-controlled Fabry-Perot laser diodes - Excellent power stability: ± 0.03 to 0.05 dB over 8 hours    Specsheet EXFO IQS-2100

The IQS-2300 is a high-power, non-polarized broadband output. Based on the principle of amplified spontaneous emission, which uses an erbium-doped fiber pumped with a 980 nm laser diode, this source is perfect for characterizing components such as filters, WDM couplers and Bragg gratings. The IQS-2300’s non-polarized output and very short coherence length make it ideal for stable, repetitive insertion loss and optical return loss measurements. Key Features : - Total output power: > +11 dBm - Power density: > -4 dBm/nm - Impressive 2 dB flatness in the 1532 to 1560 nm range - Excellent power stability: ± 0.05 dB over 8 hours    Specsheet EXFO IQS-2300

Built for production and qualification environments, the IQS-2400 WDM Laser Source emulates ITU-T channels (25, 50 or 100 GHz spacing) in dense WDM applications. Use it for multiwavelength network simulations, multiple and simultaneous inputs for EDFA characterization, as well as insertion loss measurement of WDM passive components. The IQS-2400 features four operating modes: normal, internal on/off modulation, dithered modulation and high-wavelength stability. Key Features : - Power configurations available: +10 and +13 dBm - All ITU grid wavelengths from 1528 to 1606 nm - Tuning range of ± 1 nm - Accuracy of 0.01 or 0.02 nm, depending on the model selected - Very high wavelength stability: ± 0.002 nm - Available power of +10 dBm at 1310 nm    Specsheet EXFO IQS-2400

The IQS-2600B Tunable Laser Source is ideal for testing dense WDM components in the C- and L-band ranges. With a 1 pm resolution and an impressive signal-to-spontaneous-emission ratio (SSER) of 75 dB, this source is optimized for passive component testing. The IQS-2600B’s clean signal provides a superior dynamic range, allowing you to measure isolation at a level that would not be possible with a traditional external-cavity laser. Key Features : - Wavelength uncertainty of ± 15 pm - Tuning range of > 100 nm - Built-in variable attenuator (10 dB) - Excellent wavelength repeatability (± 2.5 pm) - Polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) option    Specsheet EXFO IQS-2600B
