Manufacturer/Distributor: FLC

Frankfurt Laser Company (FLC) is known for its innovation and its ability to provide customized solutions to meet specific customer requirements, including hard-to-source and specialized laser diodes. In 2024, the company celebrated its 30th anniversary, reflecting on a successful history of technological advancements that have significantly contributed to the development of the laser industry.

Laser Type: FOLM

A FOLM (Fiber Optic Laser Module) laser is a smart investment because it offers unparalleled precision, efficiency, and flexibility, making it ideal for applications in telecommunications, medical procedures, industrial manufacturing, and scientific research. Additionally, their reliability and long operational lifespan ensure cost-effectiveness and consistent performance over time.

Laser Type: Laser-Diode-Modules

Laser diode modules are compact devices that integrate a laser diode, optical components, and often a driver circuit into a single package. These modules are designed to produce coherent light with high intensity and precision. The core component of these modules is the laser diode, a semiconductor device that emits laser radiation when electrically biased. To ensure the laser beam is focused and directed as needed, the module includes various optical components such as lenses, collimators, and beam shaping optics.

Laser Type: Wavelength-Stabilized-Laser-Diodes

The primary advantages of wavelength-stabilized laser diodes include high stability with minimal wavelength drift over time and under different operating conditions. They also produce light with a very narrow spectral width, which is essential for many precision applications, and the stable wavelength reduces phase noise, improving signal quality in communication systems.

Laser Type: VBG

Volume Bragg Grating (VBG) stabilized laser diodes use a volume Bragg grating to provide wavelength stabilization and spectral narrowing, ensuring the laser emits light at a precise and stable wavelength. This technology enhances spectral purity and temperature stability, making it ideal for applications requiring highly monochromatic light, such as spectroscopy, telecommunications, and lidar. The VBG reflects specific wavelengths back into the laser diode, forcing it to emit light with a very narrow linewidth and increased coherence length.

Wavelength Range: Visible

Visible wavelengths in lasers refer to the range of electromagnetic waves that can be detected by the human eye, typically spanning from about 400 to 700 nanometers (nm).

Mode: singlemode

Singlemode lasers are particularly useful in applications requiring precise control of the light beam. In optical communication, their high coherence and narrow beam allow for efficient coupling into optical fibers, which reduces signal loss and enables long-distance communication. In high-precision measurement systems, singlemode lasers provide the accuracy needed for applications such as interferometry, spectroscopy, and metrology. They are also ideal for sensing and imaging applications due to their focused and coherent beam, making them suitable for high-resolution imaging and precise sensing applications, including LIDAR and biomedical imaging. Furthermore, singlemode lasers are frequently used in scientific research, particularly in laboratories for experiments requiring precise and stable light sources, such as atomic and molecular spectroscopy. The design of singlemode lasers typically involves specific structural considerations, such as a small core size or a precise refractive index profile, to support only the fundamental transverse mode and ensure high beam quality and coherence.

Application: Medical

Lasers have been used in medical applications since the 1960s. The first medical use of a laser occurred in 1961, shortly after the invention of the laser, when an ophthalmologist named Dr. Charles J. Campbell used a ruby laser to treat a retinal tumor. This breakthrough marked the beginning of the integration of laser technology into various medical fields, leading to the diverse and advanced applications we see today.
