Remarks:
[1] Above specifications are under temperature 23 °C ± 1 °C
[2] Center wavelength is the default value displayed on screen.
[3] Ambient temperature change is less than ±1℃
[4] 20 minutes for preheating if stored at the same temperature before.
[5] Measured wavelength is 1310/1550nm, and the spectral width and output power of SLED light source are related to the central wavelength.
[6] The list of wavelengths can be customized, and the number of output channels should correspond to the number of wavelengths in principle. Take 4-CHs
output as an example. If you need 4-CHs 1310, the list of wavelengths is 1310*4.If need 2-CHs 1310,2-CHs 1550 then the list of wavelengths is 1310*2/1550*2;If
need four different wavelengths, such as 1270/1290/1310/1330, the list of wavelengths will be written as 1270/1290/1310/1330, corresponding to 1/2/3/4 channels in turn.
[7] The Type C light source supports only 1 and 5mW
[8] The 3dB bandwidth of the SLED light source varies slightly with power, ranging from 50 to 90nm.
