Purchasing Advisor for Wavelength Tuning Devices

Find all you need for professionally buying wavelength tuning devices: a comprehensive expert-curated directory of suppliers, scientific and technical background information, and an interactive AI-based tool with guidance for a structured decision process.

Top-level product category: icon various devices

More specific product categories: birefringent tuners

Related product category: Lyot filters

Tunable lasers incorporate various wavelength tuning devices such as Lyot filters (birefringent tuners), etalons, and diffraction gratings to achieve precise control over the output wavelength. These components are critical for fine-tuning the laser output in various applications.

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:

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 wavelength tuning devices. 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 wavelength tuning devices. 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.

Our interactive tool makes it easy: Fill out the form, and in the end print it to a PDF. Note that the document will show all sections (including those not currently shown on the screen), while omitting some irrelevant details such as the page navigation.

wavelength tuning devices

Efficient tuning of the emission wavelength of various wideband laser crystals like Ti:sapphire, Yb:YAG, Yb:KGW as well as dye lasers and optical parametric generators is achieved by means of wavelength tuning devices offered by ALPHALAS. These include reflection and transmission diffraction gratings, intracavity etalons, dispersive prisms and Lyot filters. Especially efficient are Brewster-oriented birefringent plates due to the very low losses and wide tuning ranges. These are available from stock with standard thicknesses from 1 mm to 10 mm, but also as customer-specific designs. The offered birefringent materials are crystal quartz for the spectral range 200 … 2600 nm and MgF2 for the extremely wide spectral range from 150 nm to 6500 nm. For far-infrared wavelengths and lasers up to 19 µm, ALPHALAS offers unique IR birefringent Lyot filters.
