Introduction

A broadband light source such as an erbium doped fiber amplifier emits a light signal at a wide frequency. Such devices are the centerpiece of any fiber optics laboratory. CALCE has access to two broadband light sources: AT&T M1702 EDFA Broadband Source and AFC BBS 1310 P-TS Broadband Light Source
