Expanding the options for optical sensing across C-Band wavelengths in applications that require wide temperature and humidity ranges, Ortel, a Photonics Foundries enterprise, announced Model 1786 1550 nm laser module for optical sensing. The 1786 laser was developed for use as a continuous wavelength coherent optical source for optical sensing systems.
The 1786 laser offers designers a narrow linewidth source with a wide range of output powers. The laser will achieve a maximum of 300 KHz of linewidth and will be offered in 40 mW, 50 mW and 63 mW variants. The
laser is packaged in an industry standard 14-pin butterfly package and comes coupled to an internal thermo-electric cooler for applications that are exposed to wide temperature ranges and humidity. The 1786 laser is qualified to Telcordia GR-468 standards to ensure long-term reliability and is a perfect complement to the already available 1790 high-powered coherent laser that features ultra-narrow linewidth below 100 KHz.
This new laser offering for light detection and ranging (lidar) and optical sensing supports a broad array of industrial applications including materials characterization, mechanical strain monitoring, terahertz-spectroscopy, interferometry, position and interference measurement, and more.
