Combination of a novel stable short-pulse light source and a super-continuum light generation technology demonstrates an ultra-wideband output spectrum at wavelength 1200 nm to 2000 nm at a signal output power of more than -30 dBm/nm . Optical output is available from single mode fiber (core diameter 10 micro-meter). The fully computer-controlled light source; UWS-1000 is easy-to use for many optical applications at maintenance free. The new product is a result of successful collaborative research with University of Tokyo.

Applications
AR Coating Characterization
The UWS-1000 can be used to measure ultra-low reflectivity anti-reflection (AR) coatings. Conventional methods using white light sources are limited to measurements down to 0.1% (-30dB). The UWS-1000 can successfully measure down to 0.0001% (-60dB). The system provides a rapid measurement and with a finely focused beam can be used to generate a 2D reflectivity profile with < 10µm resolution.
AR Coating Reflectance
CWDM Filter Characterization
The light source can be used to measure the optical characteristics of CWDM filters. The wavelength range covers the standard 8 channel CWDM wavelengths with the flexibility to include the full 16 channel wavelength range down to 1300nm or less if required.
Transmission Characteristics
Reflection Characteristics
PON Filter Characterization The light source can be used to measure the characteristics of optical filters for passive optical networks (PON). The ultra-wide bandwidth is particularly useful and enables the characterization of the 1310nm , 1490nm and 1550nm wavelength bands in a single measurement.
