Where to Buy Distributed Feedback Lasers

iXblue’s single-frequency fiber lasers are based on UV Bragg grating technology applied to active rare-earth photosensitive fibers. The ultra-short cavity and the phase-shifted design permit ultra-narrow linewidth and robust mode-hop-free laser operation, ideal for various sensor applications (1.5 and 2 µm available upon request).

Benefits and features:

• wavelength range 1530 – 1565 nm and 2 µm
• output power: >10 mW (> 10 µW for low noise version)
• single longitudinal mode
• narrow linewidth, low phase noise, mode-hop-free
• linear polarization, PM available
• low optical feedback sensitivity

The Koheras narrow linewidth, single-frequency fiber lasers are ultra-low noise sources with longitudinal single mode and single frequency operation. The lasers are based on a DFB design ensuring robust and reliable operation and are delivered as fully integrated systems for industrial and scientific applications. Koheras offers an unprecedented low phase- and intensity noise level at Yb, Er and Tm wavelengths. It has a very high stability, and mode-hop free inherent single frequency output – even when exposed to changing environmental conditions. You can also get shot noise limited solutions for applications demanding an extra low intensity noise level.

SHIPS TODAY: These fiber-coupled laser diodes (for 1030 nm, 1064 nm, 1310 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 high power CW drivers with air cooling for the multimode high power laser diode versions. The single-mode laser diode can reach high powers up to 180 mW in the nanosecond pulse regime. Most turn-key diode & driver solutions are optimized for single-shot to CW performances with pulse width lengths 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.

Frankfurt Laser Company offers wavelength-stabilized DFB laser diodes with emission wavelengths from 760 nm to 3640 nm.

CSRayzer DFB butterfly package laser modules are widely used for fiber-optic sensing, laser radar, optical communication, and scientific research.

APIC has developed very low noise (RIN) DFB lasers in the 1550 nm wavelength range with models that perform direct modulation (DML) up to 6 GHz and continuous wave (CW) lasers.

The DML laser come in a variety of optical power outputs from 10 to 40 mW with RIN between -160 and -155 dB/Hz.

The analog/CW lasers have optical power output levels between 40 and 120 mW with RIN between -170 to -160 dB/Hz; some models maintain low RIN out to 20 GHz.

Distributed feedback lasers (DFB lasers) simultaneously provide smooth, tunable control of wavelength and the extremely narrow spectral width required for precise fiber optic communication and spectroscopy applications. Integrated modules provide further narrowing of the spectral line in a compact OEM package that features simple tuning interface.

G&H offers a broad range of DFB lasers in the C-band and L-band on 50 or 100 GHz channel spacing as well as at 1310 nm, 1064 nm, and custom wavelengths. Power level options include 40–100 mW out of the fiber for high power 14-pin lasers and 10-18 mW options for high bandwidth 7-pin configurations.
