Innolume pulsed laser diode (SM-BTF) – gain-switching, 1015–1125 nm

The Pulsed Laser Diode (SM-BTF) from Innolume is a single-mode, fiber-coupled pulse source in a butterfly (BTF) package. Based on quantum-dot (QD) technology, the diodes are available in Fabry-Perot variants (peak power up to 1000 mW) and DFB variants with generation of ultrashort 50 ps pulses by the gain-switching method, in the wavelength range 1015–1125 nm. Ideal for seeding fiber lasers.

Innolume pulsed laser diodes in a BTF package are available in two main types. Fabry-Perot diodes offer peak power up to 1000 mW and continuous power up to 400 mW, making them perfectly suited for seeding fiber lasers. DFB diodes generate ultrashort 50 ps pulses by the gain-switching technique, at 300 mW peak power and continuous power up to 50 mW. FBG lasers complement the offer with generation of nanosecond pulses. Fabry-Perot is chosen for high-power applications, and DFB for precise, ultrashort pulses.

High peak power: Fabry-Perot up to 1000 mW peak and 400 mW CW; DFB 300 mW peak and up to 50 mW CW.
Ultrashort pulses: DFB diodes generate 50 ps pulses by the gain-switching technique.
Housing options: 14-pin module (BTF) and mounting of the chip on a submount, heatsink or in a TO package.
Customization: diodes with a specified wavelength and spectral width can be manufactured on customer request.

Fabry-Perot: high peak power (up to 1000 mW), seeding of fiber lasers.
DFB: ultrashort 50 ps pulses (gain-switching), operation in generator (G) or modulation (N) mode.
FBG: nanosecond pulses – details after consultation with the manufacturer.
