Product Overview:

Pre-Configured 1560nm DFB Source and CW Control Module

These CW 1560nm DFB single-frequency laser source & control modules offer the user a pre-configured, calibrated bench top source solution. The integrated 1560nm laser diode source module is single frequency and single-mode fiber coupled. Both the chip in the butterfly package and the package itself were designed and optimized to provide excellent long term reliability. The coupling of the laser light into the fiber is based on proprietary techniques and manufacturing processes that provide high peak output power.

• SIMPLE TO OPERATE:

  System ships with 1560nm laser diode installed and tested in pulse control electronics and mounting module.
  

• FLEXIBLE:

  User can remove and replace the laser diode in the future as needed.

High Reliability Telcordia GR-468 Core Compliant Laser Source

The package style is a butterfly which is fiber coupled with SM fiber. The source is rated for up to 10 mW output power in continuous wave mode (CW). The source laser butterfly package incorporates a thermoelectric cooler (TEC), a precision NTC thermistor and a back-facet monitoring photodiode. All of these integrated elements can be controlled and monitored through the control electronics module. These laser sources have a single-mode fiber (SMF) pigtail.

Laser Diode Control Electronics and Butterfly Mounting Module

The control electronics and mounting module for these laser diodes delivers high stability bias current, a precision TEC controller and a pre-configured ZIF mounting socket. These control modules offer multiple mechanical, thermal, and electronic protection features. They ensure that your laser diode is protected and operated safely. The on-board TEC controller incorporates a fast feedback PID control loop to provide high temperature set-point stability. A user-set temperature limit keeps the source from thermal damage. Additionally, multiple bias current / voltage protection features are designed to keep the source safe from ESD, power outages and reverse voltage. A user controlled current limit clamps the current at the set limit level.

USB and Control Software

The user can set and monitor all of the control parameters of the DFB source laser using the USB input and the supplied GUI software. These units ship with the USB cable to connect your PC to the connector on the side panel. A simple to use single page graphical user interface allows you to control all of the CW parameters as well as set current and temperature limits. Other features of these control modules include a daisy chain output, sync output, alarm monitor and back facet monitor output to monitor the DFB laser's power.
