Laser Type: Laser-Diode

A laser diode is a sophisticated semiconductor device that leverages the properties of the p-n junction and optical cavities to produce coherent, monochromatic, and directional light. Its unique characteristics make it invaluable in various technological applications.

Laser Type: Superluminescent-Diodes

A Superluminescent Diode (SLD) is a type of semiconductor light source that combines characteristics of both laser diodes and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). It produces light through spontaneous emission, like an LED, but with a much broader spectrum and higher brightness, akin to a laser diode.

Wavelength Range: IR

Applications with infrared (IR) wavelengths span across various fields. Near-Infrared (NIR) is used in fiber optic communications, medical imaging, and night vision equipment. Mid-Infrared (MIR) is important for spectroscopy, chemical sensing, and environmental monitoring due to the absorption characteristics of many molecules in this range. Far-Infrared (FIR) is utilized in thermal imaging, astronomy, and studying the thermal properties of materials.

Mode: singlemode

Singlemode in lasers refers to the operation of a laser that supports only the fundamental transverse mode, resulting in a highly coherent and focused light beam with a narrow spectral linewidth. This means the laser emits light at a single spatial pattern and usually at a single frequency, producing a beam with very low divergence and high spatial coherence.
