Features
Linewidth: Heterodyne Beat Note Method
Historically, linewidth is measured over an integration time of 50 msec or longer with the heterodyne beat note method utilizing two independent similar ECDLs. This method is less dependent on the measurement setup and provides a true snap shot of spectral broadening.
Linewidth: Delayed Self-beat Note Method
The delayed self-beat note method is another linewidth measurement technique. While this technique filters out spectral broadening, it provides an instantaneous snapshot of the Lorentzian spectrum. The New Focus Velocity laser measures 2.5 kHz over a delayed 4.6 µs measurement.
