Mini-ECL Single Frequency Laser Diode

Product information "Mini-ECL Single Frequency Laser Diode"

780 nm; Linewidth 200 kHz; Output Power 80 mW; Threshold Current 70 mA; Slope Efficiency 0.8 W/A; Side Mode Suppression Ratio 50 dB

Toptica eagleyard’s Mini-ECL miniature external cavity laser is a single frequency laser diode with a super fine linewidth of typical 200 kHz and a collimated output. Stable performance is ensured by the integrated cavity in the hermetically sealed standard butterfly package with integrated temperature control and no moving parts. Moreover, wavelengths between 650 – 1100 nm are customizable upon request, opening more freedom across the spectrum. The standard product at 780 nm will mainly be used for spectroscopy (Rb D2 line), metrology and atomic clocks.

The advantages of the Mini-ECL become very obvious when looking at the reduced complexity based on the integration of the cavity. Due to the ease of use, the robustness of the package and therefore scalability, not only research applications will benefit from this innovation but commercial and industry requirements are more easily fulfilled than with already available solutions. This will lead to outstanding results and applications along the value chain.

Mini-ECL also serves as a perfect seeder for Toptica eagleyard's TPA series of tapered amplifiers, resulting in a MOPA system with up to 3 W single mode poutput power and a brilliant frequency stability inherited from the seeder.

QPMJ High Power PM Patch Cables
Polarization Maintaining Patchcords; 200 to 2000 nm; Fiber Type PM High Power; Optional Cooling Fins OZ Optics’ QPMJ series of polarization maintaining (PM) fiber optic patchcords is specifically designed for high-power applications. These patchcords feature special high-power PM fibers, carefully prepared fiber endfaces and specially designed fiber optic connectors to ensure maximum power handling for your application. In standard connectors the fibers are glued into place, and the fiber is polished flush with the connector ferrule tip. When used with high power lasers, heat generated at the tip of the fiber causes the surrounding epoxy to break down and give off gases. These gases, in turn, burn onto the tip of the fiber, causing catastrophic damage to the fiber and perhaps the entire system. In contrast, OZ Optics’ high-power connectors feature an air-gap design, where the fiber extends into free space by 1.1 to 1.5 mm, providing an epoxy-free region where thermal energy is safely dissipated without burning the surrounding material. OZ Optics offers an adjustable focus feature in both SMA and FC connector designs to allow optimum coupling efficiency, which is critical in high power applications. A unique feature of the adjustable focus connector design is that one can adjust the distance the ferrule and fiber protrudes from the connector housing. The connector also has a built-in residual spring mechanism that allows one to safely connect two fibers together. Our engineers have extensive working knowledge with both continuous output (CW) and pulsed laser applications and can help you select the best system for your application.

Key Features: Operating Wavelengths 200 to 2000 nm PM Fibers Unique Connector Design for Precise Fiber to Fiber Coupling Minimizes Thermal Damage Able to Withstand Temperatures up to +500 °C Compatible with SMA905 and FC Connectors Different Fiber Endface Finishes Available for Higher Power Applications Stainless Steel Armored Cabling for Maximum Safety High Power Anti-reflection Coatings Available Applications: Laser Marking, Cutting and Welding; Materials Processing; High Power Spectroscopy; Non-linear Optics; Laser Surgery; Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR)
