Description
The RIO COLORADO laser source is a state-of-the-art, compact benchtop solution that leverages semiconductor external cavity laser technology. Designed to deliver exceptional performance, this laser source offers a wide wavelength tuning range across both the C-band (1530nm-1565nm) and L-band, making it an ideal choice for a variety of advanced applications. Its single longitudinal mode ensures precision, while its low phase and frequency noise contribute to its high stability and reliability.
One of the standout features of the RIO COLORADO laser source is its narrow linewidth, which allows for a long coherence length. This characteristic, combined with ultra-low relative intensity noise (RIN) and excellent side mode suppression ratio (SMSR), ensures superior performance in demanding environments. The laser's polarization-maintaining (PM) output and fast frequency modulation capabilities further enhance its versatility and usability.
Designed with user convenience in mind, the RIO COLORADO laser source is easy to set up and operate. It includes a digital controller and firmware, with an intuitive USB interface and graphical user interface (GUI) provided by RIO. This makes external monitoring and control straightforward, facilitating seamless integration into various systems. The compact size and low power consumption of the laser source make it an efficient and practical choice for research and development in fields such as fiber optic sensing, metrology, and coherent communications.
