UK55-1830

We are pleased to offer laser sources manufactured by Redfern Integrated Optics (RIO).  These high-performance single-frequency external cavity lasers (ECLs) are based on RIO’s PLANEX™ proprietary planar technology. PLANEX™ lasers consist of an amplification chip and a planar waveguide structure (PLC) with an integrated Bragg grating. The combination of these elements results in a laser with a large laser cavity that has significant advantages:

• optical output power of up to 20 mW
• very low relative intensity noise (RIN)
• ultra-low phase noise and very small line width
• very low wavelength sensitivity regarding bias current and temperature
• the low-noise, powerful, ultra-narrow band PLANEX™ lasers are particularly well suited for applications that place high demands on absolute precision, lifetime (even under harsh environmental conditions in the field during application), or a high attainable resolution

They are ideal light sources for applications including:

• acoustic and seismic sensing
• LIDAR and remote sensing systems
• distributed fibre-optic temperature or strain sensing systems
• high-resolution spectroscopy
• wavelength locking and optical phase locked loops
• microwave photonic links
• coherent communications

The pin assignment and form factor conform to the industrial standard and make simple application in existing systems possible as a drop-in exchange or upgrade to improve performance.  

The lasers are also available as laser source modules with a serial interface, as a bench-top laser source, or in other configurations.
