Description
Overview
The Quantifi Photonics LASER-1052 is a compact benchtop tunable laser source with Whisper Mode for applications requiring the narrowest possible linewidth. Part of the Laser 1000 Series, this fully-compliant micro-ITLA laser delivers high stability and precision across C-band wavelengths with up to 15 dBm output power and optional frequency dither suppression.
Key Features
- Full tunability across C-band (1527–1568 nm) with 0.01 pm resolution
- Narrow 100 kHz linewidth with Whisper Mode for even narrower linewidth in demanding applications
- Output power range: 8–15 dBm with enhanced power uniformity
- Polarization-maintaining output with industry-standard optical connectors
- Fully programmable via SCPI protocols with Python and LabVIEW drivers
- Web-based GUI control interface accessible from any modern browser
- USB or Ethernet connectivity for simple setup and integration
- Compact and portable benchtop design saves lab space
Key Notes
- Whisper Mode temporarily disables laser control frequency dither for narrowest linewidth operation
- Disabling dither may cause frequency and power to drift; use for short durations (typically under 10 minutes)
Applications
- Coherent optical transceiver development and testing
- Optical component testing (splitters, couplers, modulators, resonators, MEMs)
- Fiber optic transmission testing and WDM/DWDM channel loading
- Local oscillator for coherent transceivers requiring ultra-narrow linewidth
- Silicon photonic wafer and waveguide testing
- EDFA optical amplifier characterization
- Photonic Doppler Velocimetry (PDV) laser source
- Interferometry and medical imaging applications
- Stable light source for precision physics research
Specifications
| Full Tunability across C Band or L Band | Ideal for telecommunications applications; full coverage of DWDM channels. |
| Smarter Calibration for Enhanced Power Uniformity | Minimize inter-channel power variance with enhanced power uniformity between channels. |
| 0.01pm Tuning Resolution | Tune to anywhere within C or L band with a high 0.01pm tuning resolution. |
| Narrow 100kHz Linewidth, up to 16.5 dBm of Power | High stability 100kHz linewidth makes it an ideal candidate for some of the most demanding applications, such as coherently modulated high-speed communications. |
| Polarization Maintaining Output | The slow axis of polarization is aligned with the output connector key as per industry standards. The user may choose to use polarization maintaining (PM) fiber or standard singlemode fiber (SMF). |
| Powerful Software Controls | The Laser 1000 Series is fully programmable via industry standard SCPI protocols and drivers are available for Python and LabVIEW. It also comes with an easy-to-use GUI that can be used on any device with a modern web browser. |
| USB or Ethernet Operation | Connect via USB or Ethernet for simple setup and operation. |
| Excellent Measurement Correlation with our Optical PXI Modules | Shared product architecture lets you validate your system and test requirements in the lab with the benchtop version, and scale up to high-volume automated production testing with the Laser 1000 Series PXIe module. |
