White light source SuperK^TM Compact

The new broadband super-continuum source SuperK^TM convinces as compact, maintenance-free turn-key system with integrated controller and computer interface for external control. A continuous coverage of the wavelength spectra from visible to near IR, high power density and new optical design with improved beam parameters distinguish the SuperK^TM Compact.

An optimised mechanical design facilitates the integration of the SuperK^TM system in industrial applications. Furthermore, the new generation SuperK^TM is equipped with a synchronisation output.  

Characteristics:
Wavelength coverage: 600 bis 1750nm
Average Output Power: 100 mW
Repetition Rate: 25 kHz ±5 kHz
Pulse Width: ~1 – 2 ns
Beam Quality: TEM₀₀, M² < 1,3

Applications: 
By providing a wide wavelength spectra and high optical density, SuperK™ Compact encorporates the technologically advanced alternative to gas discharge lamps (e.g. Xenon) thus offering entirely new approaches in test and measurement applications, e.g. characterisation of optical components, CWDM/DWDM-Filters (O-E-S-C-L and U-Band), thin film and AR coatings, PON-Filters as well as chromatic dispersion in fibers and planar waveguides. 

SuperK™ Compact is being used in Optical Coherence Tomography (OTC), Bio-Analysis, confocal microscopy, fluorescence-Spectroscopy, white-light interferometry and especially in scientific basic research requiring a coherent, broadband light source.
