TEC-100 / TEC-120 Littrow Laser System - Lynx US Patent 6,297,066 | US Patent 6,869,483 | US Patents pending
Description: The TEC-100 / TEC-120 External Cavity Diode Laser in Littrow configuration is designed for high output power up to 200mW, narrow linewidth and a mode-hop free tuning range of up to 30GHz
Wavelength from 375nm to 1700nm
High optical power * output power up to 200mW * excellent quantum efficiency *high fiber coupling efficiency
Excellent tuning behavior use of in-house anti-reflection coated laser diodes fine tuning via piezo actuator with a resolution better than 10MHz large mode-hop free tuning range of up to 30GHz and more beam steering compensation
Narrow linewidth linewidth < 1MHz @ 1ms excellent side mode suppression > 40dB
Excellent frequency locking performance * high resonance free piezo modulation *high frequency laser current modulation * improved temperature stability * low acoustic susceptibility *excellent long term locking stability
High flexibility *free beam and fiber coupled versions available *constant current and constant power operation modes (optional) *excellent laser performance and frequency stability
Plug & Play configuration *modular laser system design *automated piezo tuning with power read-out *remote control via GPIB, RS232 and USB
Applications *Spectroscopy and optical process control *Optical cooling and trapping *Raman spectroscopy *Seed laser for THz generation *Laser and OPO seeding *Non-linear optical processes
Technical Details TEC-100 / TEC-120 Littrow Laser System - Lynx Sacher Lasertechnik improved the extended cavity concept by avoiding all compromises. The external cavity is realized with class D anti-reflection coated diode lasers and with a high efficiency diffraction grating. This results in the best performance for an external cavity diode laser system in the Littrow configuration. An increase of the output power and the total performance of the Littrow cavity is achieved by outcoupling the light of the rear facet of the laser diode. Typical power values range between 20mW and 200mW for single mode diode laser, depending on the wavelength.
Below are simplified drawings of the configurations
