Where to Buy Single-frequency Lasers

The HI-Q™ Laser houses a proprietary driver/controller and the OEwaves laser source, which is based on a high quality factor (Q) Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM) micro-resonator. The laser is scalable to a variety of wavelengths in 370-–4500 nm.

The unique technology of the OEwaves HI-Q™ Laser leverages the self-injection on locking of a suitable commercially available laser diode via a resonant optical feedback from a high-Q WGM micro-resonator. Its monolithically integrated approach along with micro-scale mass and volume make the laser virtually insensitive to environmental vibrations .

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.
