The ECL can have a large tuning range (>100 nm) but is often prone to mode hops, which are very dependent on the ECL's mechanical design as well as the quality of the antireflection (AR) coating on the laser diode. Click to EnlargeFigure 2: DFB Lasers Have a Bragg Reflector Along ...
The 976 nm trapping laser source is a pigtailed Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) stabilized single mode laser diode in a hermetically sealed 14-pin butterfly package. The integrated TEC element and thermistor in the butterfly package allow the temperature of the laser to be precisely controlled with ou...
Along with these stand-alone benchtop amplifiers, optical amplifiers available in pigtailed butterfly packages include InP/InGaAsP or GaAs/InGaAs semiconductor optical amplifiers (BOAs or SOAs). Thorlabs has also developed a family of femtosecond lasers utilizing oscillator-amplifier architectures. optical ...
