Newport / ILX Lightwave FOS-79800E/CUST 1580.50 nm WDM DFB Fiber Optic Source Module Overview
Features:
- 8 Channels of User-Selectable Laser Source Modules
- ±3pm Wavelength Stability with ±0.003dB Power Stability
- WDM DFB Sources Covering S, C, and L-bands at up to 20mW Per Channel
- Internal Synchronous Modulation to 500kHz
- Dual Power Meter and Fiber Optic Switch Modules
- GPIB/IEEE-488 and RS-232 Interfaces
The Newport / ILX Lightwave FOM-7900B System meets the demands of high channel count fiber optic testing. The FOM-7900B System Mainframe provides the capability to synchronously modulate up to 200 fiber optic source modules. To further simplify system integration, we provide input and output modulation ports. For fast, automated testing, the FOM-7900B has a GPIB/IEEE -488.2 interface and LabVIEW instrument drivers. The FOM-7900B is a high-performance fiber-optic test and development platform that consists of an 8-bay instrument mainframe and supporting plug-in module -all controlled by an intuitive, user-friendly interface.
This system provides a cost-effective solution for WDM and CWDM test applications including EDFA, SOA, and fiber optic component characterization. For higher density WDM system requirements, up to 24 additional 7900B mainframes can be linked together for a total of 200 channels, all controlled from a single GPIB address.
The FOM-7900B is a high-performance fiber-optic test and development platform with eight channels supporting plug-in laser source, power meter, and fiber optic switch modules. The sources come in various wavelengths from 1475-1625nm including service channels at 1310, 1480, 1510, and 1625nm. Each channel can be tuned over a 1.7nm range with 0.001nm resolution.
FOS-79800x
The ILX Lightwave FOS-79800D and FOS-79800E Series WDM DFB Fiber Optic Source Modules are designed for the most demanding WDM system and component test applications. This reliable source module platform provides picometer resolution, high power, excellent stability, coherence control, optional source shutter, optional PM alignment and accurate attenuation. When installed in the FOM-7900B Fiber Optic System Mainframe, the FOS-79800D and FOS-79800E Series WDM DFB Fiber Optic Source Modules are easily controlled through simple front panel menu entries, or through a full featured GPIB remote interface. Mainframe trigger capabilities allow you to easily synchronize output modulation of multiple modules.
FOS-79710
The ILX Lightwave FOS-79710 Fiber Optic Switch Module is designed for high return loss, low insertion loss, and excellent stability. Transparent to signal formats and bandwidths, this optically passive fiber optic switch is bi-directional in operation and offers a choice of timed, random, sequential or triggered switching modes.
The ILX Lightwave FOS-79800E/CUST 1580.50 nm WDM DFB Fiber Optic Source Module may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

What Customers Are Saying
- Young L.
Artisan isn’t just a supplier with inventory. Their engineers helped diagnose a problem over the phone that would have taken us weeks to figure out!
- Admin MPBY Google
Excellent customer service!
- Neo Google
Contacted Artisan for hard to find that has been out of circulation for nearly a decade. Their rapid response and availability exceeded all other suppliers. They supplied the part overnight to an out of state facility which allowed us to repair our equipment successfully. Well packed electronics. Well stated and professional documentation. I work with a hundred different suppliers any day of the week in my profession. Artisan remains at the very top of the bookmark tab. Thanks so much.
