Distributed Feedback (DFB) Lasers

Distributed Feedback (DFB) LasersA Distributed Feedback Laser (DFB) refers to laser diodes or quantum cascade lasers (QCLs), for example, in which the surface of the active region or gain medium is etched with a periodic structure or diffraction grating (Bragg grating). This grating creates a one-dimensional interference grating, providing optical feedback. Essentially, this process allows only one wavelength to emit from the diode, rather than one center wavelength with a couple of lower power side wavelengths that you typically get from a standard Fabry-Perot laser diode. Distributed Feedback (DFB) Laser Diodes are single-frequency and offer a Narrow Linewidth with good side mode suppression ratio (SMSR).

Discreet-Mode (DM) Laser Diodes offer very similar performance to DFB Lasers. Discreet-Mode Laser Diodes are produced with a simple and low-cost fabrication process and have many advantages. For example, they have very high side mode suppression ratio, stable operation over a broad temperature range, narrow linewidth and low sensitivity to optical feedback.

Our Products

Free-space and fiber pigtailed versions are available in these NIR, SWIR, & LWIR (from ≈1260nm to 16µm) narrow linewidth lasers, with up to 50mW output. Furthermore, packages include HHL, TO-Can, and fiber-coupled butterfly options. Finally, we offer a wide range of wavelengths and output powers to choose from in our DFB Lasers.

REP Series

The REP series includes tunable single-frequency (DFB-like) diode lasers and Fabry-Perot laser diodes in wavelengths from 1270nm thru 2350nm for communications, sensing and measurement applications.

The REP Series is specifically engineered for applications such as gas sensing, LIDAR, metrology, and optical communications. Multiple packaging options are available including the Fiber coupled 14-pin butterfly, TO39 (w/TEC), and TO56.

For a complete module incorporating the fiber coupled butterfly package with an integrated current driver and TEC controller, designed for ease of operation, it is the ideal platform for high stability gas detection or remote sensing.  See the DX1 Series.
