FLM Series
Fixed-wavelength narrow-linewidth semiconductor laser module containing the optical system only, for integration behind a customer-supplied power supply and driver. Emission wavelength is specified at order.
Technical overview
The FLM is the OEM version of Koshin Kogaku's fixed-wavelength laser source: the housing carries the optical system alone, so the integrator supplies the power supply and driver. Wavelength is set to order within 1180-1370 nm or 1400-1680 nm to +/-0.2 nm, with typical linewidth of 30 kHz (minimum 10 kHz), typical RIN of -150 dB/Hz and output of +10 dBm or more on polarization-maintaining fiber. Its 50 x 75 x 29 footprint is well under the driver-included FLS. The manufacturer notes that a highly stable power supply and driver are required to reach the quoted linewidth and RIN.
Features
- Emission wavelength specified by the customer within 1180-1370 nm or 1400-1680 nm
- Emission wavelength can be retuned after purchase
- Optical system only - power supply and driver are external
- Compact 50 x 75 x 29 housing
- Narrow spectrum linewidth and low RIN
- Optical connector selectable on the polarization-maintaining output fiber
- Suitable for embedding in equipment; multi-wavelength customization available
