The SuperK COMPACT can be found in laboratories around the World where it is the daily driver for many users within applications like component characterization, test & measurement, spectroscopy and OCT or simply as a general purpose laboratory white light source.
Features
- Cost efficient broadband source
- High brightness and long lifetime
- Visible to IR light in one module
- Input pulse trigger
- Variable repetition rate
- Flexible accessory range
- Alternative to ASE sources, lamps and SLDs
The SuperK COMPACT can be triggered externally and synced with low jitter up to 20 kHz. The trigger signal can be provided to a standard coax input or to the industrial trigger input that galvanically isolated.
Combine the COMPACT with a computer controlled filter from our supercontinuum accessory range and turn the white light source into a ultra broadband tunable laser, and control it all through the NKT Photonics CONTROL software.
The SuperK COMPACT can be configured with three types of output termination:
- FC/PC
- FC/APC
- Broadband collimator
The collimated version is compatible with our filtering accessories such as the VARIA and SELECT.
