Description
The ORION™ devices are compact laser modules employing the RIO high-performance External Cavity Laser (ECL). This laser design is based on RIO’s proprietary planar technology (PLANEX™) and consists of a gain chip and a planar lightwave circuit including waveguides with Bragg gratings, forming a laser cavity with significant advantages.
The ORION™ modules provide a stable, self-contained, easy-touse alternative to complicated, sensitive to the ambient environment and expensive fiber laser sources, or other narrow linewidth laser alternatives.
The ORION™ module uses reliable, Telcordia qualified and industry proven components, and employs low noise, digital laser bias current and temperature control circuitry to set and monitor laser performance. External monitoring and control can be accomplished via a standard interfaces, using RIO-supplied software. The ORION™ module is an ideal source for commercial and other fiber optic sensing applications, such as interferometric and Brillouin DTSS systems for oil & gas, security and smart infrastructures monitoring, coherent Doppler LIDAR for wind measurements, coherent and heterodyne metrology, photonic velocimetry and vibrometry, and coherent communications.
