TC-ASE-1060 Series ASE Broadband Light Source
The TC-ASE series broadband light source is based on the principle of spontaneous emission generated by rare earth doped fibers pumped by semiconductor lasers, combined with local optical feedback control technology.
Description
Product Description
The TC-ASE-1060 Series is a high-performance broadband ASE light source specifically designed for the 1060 nm wavelength window. Built using rare-earth-doped fiber amplification and stabilized by precision thermal and optical feedback systems, this series delivers a smooth and wide emission spectrum with outstanding temporal and spectral stability.
Unlike conventional C+L band ASE sources, the TC-ASE-1060 targets specialized fields such as high-resolution biomedical imaging, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and micro-optical component characterization. Its ultra-low polarization, excellent power flatness, and modular form factor make it ideal for both laboratory setups and system-level integration.

Features
● Centered around the 1060 nm band with a typical range of 1035–1085 nm
● Flat and continuous spectral profile suitable for imaging and metrology
● High output power with real-time thermal feedback stabilization
● Ultra-low polarization mode dispersion (PMD ≤ 0.5 ps) and polarization-dependent gain (PDG ≤ 0.5 dB)
● Available in desktop and compact module formats
● Fiber and connector types fully customizable to your application
Applications
● Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) at 1060 nm for deep tissue imaging in ophthalmology and dermatology
● Biomedical diagnostics requiring low-coherence broadband sources
● 1060 nm band optical sensing and component testing
● Swept-source laser seeding in tunable imaging systems
● Fiber-based white light interferometry
