Hybrid edfa/ase source system

A hybrid erbium-doped fiber amplifier and high-power amplified spontaneous emission source system has a third mating adapter added on the front panel, compared to a typical edfa turnkey system, which has only two. When used as an edfa, via standard input and output connections, the system is an optical power booster that provides 16 dBm of optical power in the saturation regime. When the third connector is shorted with the edfa input, the system outputs low-coherent ase with more than 35 mW available for device of system testing. The system costs US$15,950.
