Request InfoExalos AGExalos AG has released a transmitter optical subassembly, 1550-nm superluminescent LED. The EXS1505-8111 offers high output and a typical bandwidth of 60 nm FWHM. Spectral ripple is <0.1 dB, and the operating current of up to 200 mA generates typical optical output power of 0.5 mW in the single-mode fiber. The LED is supplied in a TO-56 housing with fiber pigtails, including multimode and polarization-maintaining fiber. Applications include fiber optic gyroscopes and sensors, optical coherence tomography and optical channel monitors. The devices are Bellcore GR-468-Core-qualified.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 5/24/20233D Scanning SoftwarePhotoneo’s PhoXi Control 1.10 brings new features and user experience improvements, including a driver for Cognex VisionPro 9.8 to allow Photoneo 3D Sensors to be used in Cognex VisionPro....Photonics.com 2/10/2023Sensor Reference DesignThe M30 Reference Design from Lumotive LLC and Lumentum Holdings Inc. is a complete software-defined sensor implementation to enable rapid adoption of light control metasurface (LCM™)-based...BioPhotonics Nov/Dec 2023 IssuePolarization CameraThe CELERA One P from Alkeria is a part of their polarization camera series.
