cBLMD-T-850 Broadband Light Source Returns
After a two-year supply delay, the cBLMD-series Broadband Light Source Module solution is back by popular demand!
Superlum Diode’s light source for ultra-high resolution Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) — cBLMD-T-850 — features 165 nm spectral width at 850 nm with coherence length less than 5 um in air. This cBLMD has USB and UART control interfaces. As an option, an optical isolator can be integrated.
The cBLMD-series Broadband Light Source Modules are compact, powerful and very wide spectrum light sources for high resolution OCT and other applications. Standard sources are based on a combination of two (-D) or three (-T) SLDs with different center wavelengths. The design of integrated SLD current and temperature controllers ensure excellent operation stability.
In cBLMD-D and cBLMD-T devices, the operating parameters of each SLD are pre-set to achieve the best combination of spectrum width and output power. Standard models have FC/APC mating sleeve. cBLMD modules are available with or without internal optical isolators. For models without isolators, optical feedback should not exceed -30 dB. If the required optical feedback level is higher, consult with a representative before ordering.
The average availability of cBLMD-T-850-HP is only 6–8 weeks from the PO date.
About Superlum Diodes
For decades, Superlum Diodes has been manufacturing high quality superluminescent diodes (SLDs).
Their main products are free space SLD modules and SM and PM fiber pigtailed SLD modules based on a single transverse mode SLD emitters, as well as multimode fiber pigtailed SLD modules in different spectral bands from 650 nm to 1620 nm, including extremely powerful (up to 100 mW) and broadband (up to 100 nm FWHM) models.
Custom performance characteristics and different package types are available upon request. For customers’ convenience, modules can be delivered with an appropriate current and temperature controller.
