Laser Type: DFB

Description:

Laser Type: Laser-Diode

Laser diodes are characterized by their ability to produce coherent light, meaning the light waves are in phase with each other both temporally and spatially. The light emitted is monochromatic, having a narrow wavelength range, which means it is almost of a single color. Additionally, laser diodes emit light in a highly directional beam, unlike LEDs, which emit light in multiple directions.

Laser Type: Wavelength-Stabilized-Laser-Diodes

Wavelength-stabilized laser diodes are a type of semiconductor laser that maintains a stable output wavelength regardless of variations in temperature, current, or other external factors. These lasers are designed to provide a consistent and precise wavelength, which is essential for many applications where accuracy and reliability are critical.

Laser Type: DFB

Choosing a DFB (Distributed Feedback) laser diode is advantageous for applications requiring high spectral purity, single longitudinal mode operation, and stable wavelength emission. These diodes are ideal for telecommunications, spectroscopy, and sensing due to their narrow linewidth, efficiency, and low noise performance. Additionally, DFB lasers can be customized to specific wavelengths, making them suitable for various high-precision and high-performance tasks.
