1064nm Narrow Linewidth Single Frequency Laser

LASER COMPONENTS offers a high performance narrow linewidth single frequency 1064nm laser. This External Cavity Laser (ECL) is based on RIOâ€™s proprietary planar technology - PLANEXâ„¢. The PLANEX laser consists of a gain chip and a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) that includes a Bragg grating. The coupling of these components forms a cavity with significant benefits: with up to 20mW output power, very low RIN, low phase noise and narrow linewidth, and very low wavelength sensitivity to bias current and temperature.
