Product Overview

The Optilab SLD-2B is a line of Superluminescent Light Emitting Diodes (SLED) based broadband light sources, designed for general laboratory
applications. The SLD-2B is a reliable and cost-effective benchtop unit that can accommodate up to two broadband SLED sources and can be ordered from a wide array of SLD with different wavelengths, bandwidth and power levels.

The SLED operating temperature and drive current are precisely monitored by micro-controller to ensure constant output power and emission wavelength stability. With its simple and intuitive front panel interface, the user can control the SLED source output power level by adjusting the drive current. The optional pulsed operation mode can enable optical pulse of 10 ns rise time.

All Optilab SLD-2B products are backed by a industry leading two year limited warranty on ensure system functionality. Our customer service team provides technical support for any inquires for the operation of the SLD-2B products.
