Distributed feedback lasers are single-mode lasers containing an integrated grating structure. The result is a single-mode emission at an outmost precise wavelength with an extremely narrow linewidth. eagleyard provides the largest variety of wavelengths available on the market. Find your suitable DFB laser product between 633 and 1083 nm with output powers from 10 to 150 mW.

TOPTICA’s DLC DFB pro lasers integrate both distributed-feedback (DFB) and distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) lasers. Available wavelengths include 633 nm and the entire range from 760 nm to 3500 nm. Three laser heads accommodate different diode packages. Due to the absence of alignment-sensitive components, the DLC DFB pro lasers exhibit an exceptional stability and reliability.

SHIPS TODAY: Fiber-coupled DFB laser diodes (1030 nm DFB, 1064 nm, 1310 nm, 1550 nm or any wavelength between 1250 nm and 1650 nm) are offered as stock items or associated with a CW or pulsed laser diode driver. They are compatible with our high speed nanosecond pulsed drivers or low noise laser diode driver for ultra-narrow linewidth single frequency emission. The single-mode laser diode can reach high powers up to 500 mW in the nanosecond pulse regime. Most turn-key diode & driver solutions are optimized for single-shot to CW performances with pulse durations down to 1 ns. The laser diode precision pulses are generated internally by an on-board pulse generator, or on demand from an external TTL signal.

Koheras single-frequency fiber lasers are longitudinally single-mode and offer extremely low phase- and intensity noise levels. Available in the erbium or ytterbium wavelength ranges and with frequency conversion to many other bands. Reliability is our highest priority, and the all-fiber DFB design ensures robust and reliable operation for thousands of hours. Koheras lasers are extremely stable and mode-hop-free – even under changing environmental conditions. We can deliver shot-noise-limited lasers for applications demanding extra low-intensity noise.

The lasers you need. From the people you trust. Our experience, your advantage.
