![]() Advanced Tunable Lasers Open the Future of Measurement Technology Spectra Quest Lab, Inc.408 Chiba-Univ. Inohana Inovation Plaza 1–8–15 Inohana Chuou-ku Chiba-shi Chiba, 260–0856 Japan | ![]() Spectra Quest Lab offers ns/ps tunable lasers and light sources in the 900-nm band and 1-μm band. The tunable laser uses a CW narrow linewidth tunable laser as a seed source, and after nanosecond pulse generation with a pulsed SOA, the ns pulse is further amplified with a fiber amplifier to obtain a Fourier-limited linewidth pulse. The tunable light source is a system in which broadband ASE light from a pulsed SOA is selected with a spectral width of 0.2 nm by a tunable filter and amplified by a fiber amplifier, making it cost-effective and simple configuration. Both can output pulse widths of 1–10 ns and support repetition rates from single shot to 100 MHz on pulse on demand. External synchronization is easily achieved with electrical trigger input/output. Optionally, a picosecond pulse output can be obtained by passing a pulse shaper consisting of an LiNbO3 modulator and an electric pulse generator before the fiber amplifier input.
