Designed for your most demanding Anything you can adjust from the front panel applications, these lasers offer continuous can be controlled through RS-232 or GPIB tuning over wide wavelength ranges, fast linear (IEEE-488) interfaces. In remote mode, you sweeps, excellent tuning resolution, and narrow, still have access to the frequency-modulation stable linewidths. input, allowing you to dither the frequency as you perform automated wavelength scans.

And unlike lasers experiments, and wavelength stabilization. driven by stepper motors, the TLB-6300’s tuning is truly continuous and monotonic. (See page 24.) With a choice of wavelengths Components Opto-Mechanical from 630 to 2 µm, these lasers are ideal for telecommunications, spectroscopy, metrology, and environmental-sensing applications. Features: High-Speed Current Modulation Br W orkstations & eadboar Modulate the laser amplitude with a 3-dB bandwidth of 1 MHz through the controller’s current-modulation input. Applying a signal ds directly to the laser diode via a connector on the laser head allows you to modulate the amplitude at rates of at least 100 MHz. Optics Easy Wavelength Modulation Convenient wavelength modulation for spectroscopy or stabilization experiments is provided by a PZT actuator on the tuning element. Modulating the PZT through the Solutions OEM modulation input on the back panel of the con- troller allows you to directly modulate the laser wavelength with a small-signal 3-dB bandwidth of 2 kHz. Full 30-GHz frequency modulation can be performed at rates up to 200 Hz. Notes Application Automated Wavelength Scans Easily perform wavelength scans over the entire tuning range of the laser. Just set the start and stop wavelengths and scanning speed (up to 20 nm/s for some models) and press the scan button.
