Description
The Photodigm 976 nm Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) Laser Diode is a high-performance, edge-emitting laser diode designed for applications requiring single-frequency operation and high stability. Built on Photodigm’s advanced Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) monolithic laser technology, it delivers a single spatial mode beam with passivated facets for enhanced reliability.
This DBR laser diode is available in low-power (40–200 mW) and high-power (80–350 mW) configurations, featuring a narrow linewidth of 500 kHz, excellent side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR), and precise wavelength control. Its temperature tuning rate of 0.06 nm/°C and current tuning rate of 0.002 nm/mA enable precise spectral alignment, making it ideal for optical coherence tomography (OCT), biomedical imaging, and sensing applications.
The 976 nm DBR laser diode is available in multiple package configurations, including Chip on Submount (CoS), 9MM, TO-8, C-Mount, and TOSA, ensuring seamless integration into various optical systems. With a high polarization extinction ratio of up to 20 dB, this laser diode provides superior performance for demanding applications.
