broadband output is centered at 1550nm and spread over a 40 nm spectral width. High output
stability is achieved by using ILX Lightwave’s proven laser diode current and temperature control
technology. Due to the nature of the light source, the output is intrinsically unpolarized. Select the
MPS−8033/55 for 10 mW of broadband output power, or the MPS−8033/65 for 20 mW. See typical
output spectrums (resolution @ 1nm) in Figure 1.1.

Safety Considerations
This is a Class 1 Laser Product. Safety considerations are provided throughout this manual. These
must be complied with to ensure safe operation of the MPS−8033. Please read the warnings and
cautions provided before operating the 8033.
WARNING
Laser Radiation is not visible to the human eye, but can seriously damage eyesight.
Never look into the end of an optical cable attached to the optical output when the
source is operational. Refer Servicing to only to qualified, authorized personnel.
