Description
The RIO COLORADO widely tunable laser sources are compact benchtop lasers sources based on semiconductor external cavity laser technology.
Key characteristics:
* Wavelength tuning range: C-band, 1530nm-1565nm, including ITU wavelength
* L-band available
* Low phase / frequency noise
* Narrow linewidth, long coherence length
* Low relative intensity noise (RIN)
* High wavelength stability
* Frequency modulation
* AM trace tone
The RIO COLORADO laser source’s features provide end users with a stable, self-contained, easy-to-use alternative to complicated and expensive fiber laser or SSL sources. The RIO COLORADO laser source uses reliable, Telcordia qualified and industry proven components, and includes low noise laser bias current and temperature control circuitry and controllers to set and monitor laser performance.
External monitoring and control can be employed via a standard USB interface, using RIO-supplied software and GUI. The RIO COLORADO laser source is an ideal source for R&D and development of advanced fiber optic sensing and metrology applications, such as laser spectroscopy, interferometric/acoustic sensing, coherent communications, LIDAR and others.
