Description
The RIO019x Series devices are high-performance cost effective External Cavity Laser (ECL). The 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.
PLANEX™ laser combines high performance, comparable with long cavity fiber lasers, with the low cost, simplicity, small size and reliability of semiconductor lasers.
PLANEX™ laser is an ideal source for multiple commercial and military fiber optic sensors applications, including 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. Laser is available with various wavelength, phase noise and output power options.
