DFB Single Frequency Laser Diodes
760-1083 nm; Typ. Linewidth 0.6 MHz; Output Power 6-150 mW CW; Threshold Current ≤70 mA; Slope Efficiency 0.7 W/A; Side Mode Suppression Ratio ≥30 dBToptica eagleyard’s DFB series of distributed feedback (DFB) laser diodes features a built-in wavelength-selective grating stabilizing the wavelength. The DFB series’ entire resonator consists of a periodic structure. Thus, the devices operate on a single resonator mode emitting quasi-monochromatic radiation with a very small line width and low phase noise. The lasers can have very low-intensity noise because of the lack of mode partition noise. Due to the Gaussian mode the output is diffraction-limited.The choice of a distributed feedback design instead of a similar distributed Bragg grating (DBR) structure enables even a broader smooth tuning range around the operational point without the risk of experiencing spectral issues known as mode-hops, as these are given by design of a DBR diode, making the latter less suitable for the needs of atom spectroscopy.Special variants are available – two versions are intended to be used as seed lasers for pulsed fiber lasers, while other variants aim at oxygen detection as the emission wavelength of these laser diodes match with the strong absorption lines of oxygen at 760 nm and 764 nm while wavelength tuning around one of these absorption lines is possible.Further variants are especially suitable for spectroscopy with mode‐hop free operation and small linewidth guaranteed at the specified target wavelength for spectroscopic applications – these laser diodes are reaching the target wavelength by temperature tuning and allow wavelength tuning around this target wavelength.External backreflections may disturb the spectrum of these laser diodes, so the use of butterfly (BFW01) or TOC03 packages and effective optical isolation is recommended for spectroscopic applications requiring absolutely mode‐hop‐free tuning. Finally, special tunable variants with integrated optical isolators are available, enabling a wide mode‐hop free tuning range given by the specified operating temperature range and the specified power range.Key Features:Single Frequency ModeHigh Side Mode Suppression > 50 dBNarrow Linewidth <1 MHzPulse Width 1 to 50 nsPeak Power up to 500 mWRepetition Rate up to 1 MHzSMSR >35 dB Product Wavelength Output Power Specifics DFB-0760-00012-1500-BFY12-0005 760 nm 12 mW oxygen detection, spectroscopy, metrology DFB-0760-00040-1500-BFW01-0005 760 nm 40 mW oxygen detection with collimator DFB-0760-00040-1500-TOV01-0005 760 nm 40 mW oxygen detection VCSEL replacement DFB-0760-00040-1500-TOC03-0005 760 nm 40 mW oxygen detection DFB-0780-00020-1500-BFY12-0005 780 nm 20 mW oxygen detection,spectroscopy: Rb D2 DFB-0780-00040-1500-BFY02-0000 780 nm 40 mW basic variant with PM fiber DFB-0780-00040-1500-BFY02-0002 780 nm 40 mW tunable with PM fiber DFB-0780-00040-1500-BFW11-0005 780 nm 40 mW spectroscopy: Rb D2 with isolator and collimator DFB-0780-00080-1500-TOV01-0005 780 nm 80 mW spectroscopy: Rb D2 DFB-0780-00080-1500-BFW01-0002 780 nm 80 mW tunable with collimator DFB-0780-00080-1500-BFW01-0005 780 nm 80 mW spectroscopy: Rb D2 with collimator DFB-0780-00080-1500-TOC03-0000 780 nm 80 mW basic variant DFB-0780-00080-1500-TOC03-0002 780 nm 80 mW tunable DFB-0780-00080-1500-TOC03-0005 780 nm 80 mW spectroscopy: Rb D2 DFB-0785-00040-1500-BFY02-0000 785 nm 40 mW basic variant with PM fiber DFB-0785-00040-1500-BFY02-0002 785 nm 40 mW tunable with PM fiber DFB-0785-00100-1500-TOV01-0000 785 nm 100 mW basic variant DFB-0795-00015-1500-BFY12-0005 795 nm 15 mW spectroscopy: Rb D1 line DFB-0795-00040-1500-BFW11-0005 795 nm 40 mW spectroscopy: Rb D1 with isolator and collimator DFB-0795-00080-1500-BFW01-0005 795 nm 80 mW spectroscopy: Rb D1 with collimator DFB-0852-00015-1500-BFY12-0005 852 nm 15 mW spectroscopy: Cs D2  DFB-0852-00050-1500-BFY02-0000 852 nm 50 mW basic variant with PM fiber DFB-0852-00050-1500-BFY02-0002 852 nm 50 mW tunable with PM fiber DFB-0852-00100-1500-BFW01-0002 852 nm 100 mW tunable with collimator DFB-0852-00100-1500-BFW01-0005 852 nm 100 mW spectroscopy: CS D2 with collimator DFB-0852-00150-1500-TOC03-0000 852 nm 150 mW basic variant DFB-0852-00150-1500-TOC03-0002 852 nm 150 mW tunable DFB-0852-00150-1500-TOC03-0005 852 nm 150 mW spectroscopy: Cs D2 DFB-0895-00050-1500-TOV01-0005 895 nm 50 mW spectroscopy: Cs D1 DFB-0935-00080-1500-TOC03-0004 935 nm 80 mW spectroscopy: Yb DFB-1030-00500-1500-BFY02-0010 1030 nm 500 mW seed laser (pulsed mode) with PM fiber DFB-1064-00025-1500-BFY12-0002 1064 nm 25 mW tunable with isolator and PM fiber DFB-1064-00040-1500-BFY02-0000 1064 nm 40 mW basic variant with PM fiber DFB-1064-00040-1500-BFY02-0002 1064 nm 40 mW tunable with PM fiber DFB-1064-00080-1500-TOC03-0000 1064 nm 80 mW basic variant DFB-1064-00080-1500-TOC03-0002 1064 nm 80 mW tunable DFB-1064-00500-1500-BFY02-0010 1064 nm 500 mW seed laser (pulsed mode) with PM fiber DFB-1083-00025-1500-BFY12-0002 1083 nm 25 mW tunable with isolator and PM fiber DFB-1083-00080-1500-TOC03-0002 1083 nm 80 mW  Applications: Interferometry, Laser Doppler Velocimetry and Vibrometry; Cold Atoms; Optically Pumped Atom Clocks; Quantum Optics; THz Generation, Raman Spectroscopy; Cs- ,Rb- , K- Spectroscopy; Seed Laser for LIDAR Systems
