Product description
SLD-uCS-series Ultra Compact Broadband Light Source Modules are wide spectrum SM- or PM-fiber coupled light source modules for
applications requiring a reliable, powerful, stable and low-noise SLD light source with a wide and flat spectrum and a short coherence
length. A high-precision current and temperature controller powers the SLD module inside the light source. The SLD output can be
modulated (ON/OFF) at the rate of up to 10 kHz.
The SLD-uCS is a miniaturized version of the SLD-mCS with half the footprint.
The new modules require the same 9-30 V DC supply voltages and allow
the use of switched-mode power supplies. They have the same I/O interface and
controls and the same connections (pinouts and connectors' P/Ns), thus allowing
easy replacement of SLD-mCS light sources in applications were the system size
becomes of critical importance. Similar to SLD-mCS, SLD-uCS light
sources have a fiber pigtail for light output, terminated by an FC/APC connector.
SLD-uCS devices can be built using any SLD of Superlum provided its drive current is
less than 300 mA and SLD chip power consumption does not exceed 0.7 W.

Ordering
When ordering an SLD-uCS light source, it is only necessary to add "uCS" after "SLD" in the model number
of the SLD module required, unless otherwise specified. For example:
- SLD-uCS-371-HP2-SM – SLD-uCS light source with a standard SLD-371-HP2-SM module inside, fiber pigtail output
- SLD-uCS-381-HP1-PM – SLD-uCS light source with a standard SLD-381-HP1-PM module inside, fiber pigtail output, slow axis PMF alignment
