This unit
The Exfo IQ-2300 ASE Broadband Source is a amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) optical light source designed for telecommunications and research laboratory testing. It delivers stable, spectrally flat broadband output across the C-band and L-band, enabling precise characterization of optical components, fiber systems, and networks. The instrument supports spectral measurements, insertion loss testing, and general optical component characterization with excellent output power stability and configurable modulation options.

Exfo IQ-2300 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Exfo IQ-2300. Calibration covers output power at specified wavelengths, wavelength accuracy, 15-minute output stability, and modulation frequency accuracy where applicable. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Exfo IQ-2300 faults: laser diode end-of-life (output below spec), fiber output connector damage, output instability. Common repairs include laser diode replacement when output falls below spec, fiber output connector repair, and thermal management service.
