Frequency-stabilized lasers are equipped with automatic feedback systems to maintain a stable wavelength of laser emission. They are crucial in applications such as laser spectroscopy, where precise and stable wavelengths are required for accurate measurements and experiments.

Interactive Purchase Decision Tool

Purchasing high-value photonics products is a substantial responsibility. Using a structured decision-making process and high quality supplier data helps a lot:

Go through the process:

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive learning resources of RP Photonics:

If you need personal help, contact RP Photonics to get technical consultancy.

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you purchase.

We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying frequency-stabilized lasers. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".

3. Find suitable suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for frequency-stabilized lasers. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

4. Document the decision process

It is essential to document your purchasing process, not only its result (chosen supplier):

  • You will find it easier next time.
  • If something goes wrong, you can defend your decision by showing that you properly considered all important aspects. Or you see what needs to be done better next time.

frequency-stabilized lasers

Single frequency fiber lasers exhibit reduced frequency noise, excellent stability and long coherence length due to their short cavity design.

MPBC has a line of short cavity single frequency lasers available at wavelengths ranging from 910 nm to 1300 nm. With an all-fiber optical cavity architecture and a mechanical package that is thermally and acoustically isolated, these lasers are known for their quality and robustness. Active stabilisation implementing Pound–Drever–Hall (PDH) locking is used to stabilise frequency. Wavelength tunability is achieved by temperature and piezo.

These seed lasers can be used in conjunction with MPBC's single frequency amplifiers to increase the output power while maintaining the critical seed parameters, such as narrow linewidth, reduced frequency noise and long coherence lengths.

frequency-stabilized lasers

VEXLUM provides lasers that can be frequency-stabilized using external reference signals such as wavemeters or reference cavities. VALO and VXL lasers feature:

  • An integrated piezoelectric actuator with a 10 kHz bandwidth for slow locking.
  • An optional intracavity electro-optic modulator (EOM) with a 1 MHz bandwidth for fast locking.

These capabilities allow for highly precise optical frequencies, making them ideal for quantum technology and spectroscopy applications. The fast lock option is particularly useful for demanding clock transitions.

frequency-stabilized lasers

The SLIM LINER – a high spectral purity laser source – is a single-frequency, ultra-narrow linewidth laser that is based on a Self-Adaptive Photonic Oscillator (SAPO) technology developed by the Institut Foton at Université de Rennes in France. A pump laser is optically locked onto a cavity using stimulated Brillouin scattering that offers an extremely narrow gain bandwidth, naturally favoring a high spectral purity, with a frequency noise as low as 0.0005 Hz²/Hz at 200 kHz Fourier frequency.
