- excellent quantum efficiency
- high fiber coupling efficiency
Excellent tuning behavior
- coarse and fine tuning modes
- fine tuning via piezo actuator with a resolution better than 10MHz
- coarse tuning via DC servo motor up to 30nm at 780nm or 830nm
- large mode-hop free tuning range of up to 100GHz and more
Narrow linewidth
- linewidth 50dB
High flexibility
- system with wavelength of 760nm to 1080nm are available, further wavelength are under development
- free beam and fiber coupled versions available
- constant current and constant power operation modes
Plug & Play configuration
