Laser Type: FOLM

A FOLM (Fiber Optic Laser Module) laser is a type of laser device that incorporates fiber optics technology. These lasers are used in a variety of applications, particularly in telecommunications, medical devices, industrial processes, and scientific research.

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

Wavelength-stabilized laser diodes are critical components in numerous high-precision applications due to their ability to maintain a stable emission wavelength. This stability is achieved through the use of feedback mechanisms, temperature control, and precise design, ensuring consistent performance even under varying environmental conditions.

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 lasers have a broad array of applications. In communications, they are used in optical fiber systems for short distances. Medical applications include surgeries, eye treatments like LASIK, and various diagnostic tools. The entertainment industry employs visible lasers in light shows to create striking visual effects. In measurement and detection, laser rangefinders and LIDAR systems use visible lasers for measuring distances and mapping, while bar code scanners often use red laser diodes. Research and development fields utilize visible lasers in spectroscopy, microscopy, and other scientific investigations to study material properties.

Mode: multimode

Multimode in lasers refers to the operation of a laser that supports multiple transverse modes, resulting in a light beam that is less coherent and more divergent compared to single-mode lasers. This means the laser emits light at multiple spatial patterns and sometimes at multiple frequencies, leading to a broader and more diffuse beam. Multimode lasers are useful in applications where high power and wide beam spread are required, such as in material processing, medical treatments, and certain types of optical sensors. The design of multimode lasers typically involves a larger core size or different refractive index profile to support multiple light paths.
