Laser Type: Superluminescent-Diodes

A Superluminescent Diode (SLD) is a semiconductor light source that combines the high brightness and broad spectral output of laser diodes with the low coherence of LEDs, making it ideal for applications like optical coherence tomography and fiber optic gyroscopes. It achieves this by producing amplified spontaneous emission through a design that suppresses optical feedback and prevents coherent light formation.

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 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.
