Keysight / Agilent / HP 83438A Erbium ASE Source with Opt 022 Overview
Features:
- Between: 5.5 and 8.1 dBm in the 1550 nm Window (Standard Model)
- High Power Density
- Single-Mode Fiber Output
- Modulation Input from DC up to 300 Hz
The Keysight / Agilent 83438A provides more than +6 dBm in the 1550 nm window, allowing you to characterize advanced components such as isolators, circulators, add/drop multiplexers, gratings, or demultiplexers for dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) systems.
The Keysight / Agilent 83438A Erbium ASE source emits amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from an Erbium doped fiber. Such light is one hundred times stronger than an EELED, and ten thousand times stronger than a white light source. This makes it an ideal source for characterizing components with high losses (such as crosstalk or isolation). A pump laser activates the fluorescence of the Erbium doped fiber. The modulation input allows on/off control or modulation up to 300 Hz for applications using lock-in techniques. An optical isolator (standard in each instrument) protects the active fiber from backreflections from the device under test, which significantly improves the stability.
The performance of most passive optical components depends on wavelength, either within several nanometers or over a few hundred nanometers. If that is a critical parameter in the application of your component, then the Keysight / Agilent 83438A is the perfect stimulus to probe the device under test and to characterize its wavelength dependence quickly with an optical spectrum analyzer.

What Customers Are Saying
- Haley D. Google
AMAZING PEOPLE. AMAZING WORK.
- Dylan S. Google
Great customer service. good prices and knowledgeable staff!
- Arvind P.
We have some test equipment in our lab from the 1990's that stopped working about 2 years ago. It sat in the corner collecting dust, but we took on a project last month that required more machines. After talking to Artisan, we found out we could get parts to fix our machine for much less than buying a new one!
- Lonnie G.
Don’t worry about damage to your items during shipping – the box ours came in could have taken a beating and would have still survived!
- Darlene K. Google
Staff knows their stuff! Very knowledgeable and helpful. Very satisfied!
- Ersel T. Google
Artisan Technology Group have an excellent customer support team. I got answer to all of my questions and everything was flawless. Thank you once again.
- Brian S.
Artisan saved us headaches and money by helping us find a replacement Tektronix VXI module. Finding quality replacement parts is difficult and I'm glad they had what I needed.
- Kamal A.
We found Artisan when our PXI Chassis broke, which shut down our production line. We were up and running in less than a day because they shipped overnight and talked our tech guys through the installation over the phone. ATG saved the day big time!
