T-series and Q-series Broadlighters

Superlum T- and Q-series Broadlighters are extremely broadband, very low coherence AC powered benchtop light sources based on three (T-series) and four (Q-series) fiber coupled superluminescent diode modules with slightly shifted central wavelengths combined by appropriate broadband single-mode fiber couplers. The design of SLD module controllers ensures excellent operation stability of the light sources.

The devices are developed for optical test and measurement applications including:

Optical coherence tomography
Characterization of optical components
Optical fiber metrology
Optical measurements

The following T- and Q-series Broadlighters are commercially available:
