3 Tunable Dye Lasers

Tunable Diode Lasers

At the recent Photonics West and Optical Fiber Conferences, companies presented many new products, ranging from mechanical products to instruments to complex laser systems. As a product engineer, there is nothing quite like the feeling of standing in the booth, talking to potential customers about the product You’ve designed or built. But the real success happens when customers buy the product ...

Nano-Electromechanical Optoelectronic Tunable Lasers

Widely tunable diode lasers advance microresonator research

Due to a very distinct spectrum of resonant frequencies, the characterization of optical microcavities calls for widely tunable sources of continuous wave laser light, offering suitably narrow linewidths and single-mode operation over the entire tuning range. This is why external cavity diode lasers, which allow for mode-hop free wavelength tuning, often over more than a hundred nanometers, hav...

High-power widely tunable thulium fiber lasers.

Applications requiring long-range atmospheric propagation are driving the development of high-power thulium fiber lasers. We report on the performance of two different laser configurations for high-power tunable thulium fiber lasers: one is a single oscillator utilizing a volume Bragg grating for wavelength stabilization; the other is a master oscillator power amplifier system with the oscillat...
