This unit
The ILX Lightwave FOS-79800F 315C2 is a WDM DFB fiber optic source module engineered for wavelength division multiplexing applications requiring precise, stable light generation across the C-band. This plug-in module delivers 10–20 mW of output power with exceptional wavelength and power stability, making it ideal for characterizing WDM systems, EDFAs, SOAs, and fiber optic components. The module integrates dual-stage temperature control and low-noise laser current control to ensure reliable performance in demanding test environments.
