S-series Broadlighters are high-power, high-stability, low-coherence, broadband AC powered SLD light sources. They are based on Superlum's high-power (HP) SLD modules. The most high-power Broadlighters are equipped with appropriate polarization-insensitive fiber-optic isolators that protect the SLD modules from being damaged by optical feedback. All the light sources have two operating modes: the High Power mode and theLow Power mode. During normal operation, the High Power mode of the Broadlighter is always employed, whereas the Low Power mode is intended for safe alignment of optical components and circuits in the customer's optical system during the set-up process. The devices are developed for optical test and measurement applications including:

Optical coherence tomography
Characterization of optical components
Optical fiber metrology
Optical measurements

From July 2005, all S-series Broadlighters are delivered with RS-232 remote control capability. Superlum offers companion software to operate your S-series Broadlighter remotely from your PC/laptop.
