Fibre coupled white light source

WLS100 from Bentham

The WLS100 is a turn-key, fibre coupled white light source, designed to maximise the coupling of broadband light into terminated fibre optics (FC, SMA, etc). A 100 W quartz halogen (QTH) lamp features exceptional output stability and of distance from electrical connections to filament therefore obviating the need for alignment on changing the bulb. Research-grade input optics ensure an efficient coupling into the fibre to further maximise power output. A condenser lens assembly ensures optimal coupling to the optical fibre of choice. The front panel may be fitted with either an SMA or FC connector.

Features

Alignment free lamp replacement
Fitted with a switch mode power supply allowing use with mains supplies 85 V AC - 265 V AC
A 2.5 A slow blow fuse is fitted
Bentham Part 09101 for optimal filament position with respect to the output optics
