  • 968nm 30mW DFB laser diode

    Distributed Feedback (DFB) and Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) laser diodes are light sources emitting an extremely narrow spectral line with a bandwidth below 5 MHz and a typical Side-Mode Suppression Ratio (SMSR) > 40 dB. Based on GaAs, Idealphotonic's DFB and DBR lasers utilize InGaAs Quantum Well (QW) or InAs/GaAs Quantum Dot (QD) active regions and proprietary chip designs, covering the 970–1330 nm spectral range.To date, DFB and DBR lasers are common laser types, especially for use in scientific research and operations. Both laser types operate in a single longitudinal mode and are highly reliable in terms of efficiency, spectral purity, and long-term performance across various applications.

    Product features:Precise wavelength; stable output; single longitudinal mode narrow linewidth; low noise design; industrial-grade package

    Safety and Operating Instructions

    The device emits invisible light that may be harmful to human eyes. Avoid direct eye exposure to the fiber connector during operation. When operating with the connector open, appropriate laser safety goggles must be worn.

    Absolute maximum ratings shall be applied to the device only for short periods. Prolonged exposure to maximum ratings or exposure to more than one maximum rating may damage the device or degrade its reliability. Operation beyond the absolute maximum ratings may result in device failure or safety hazards.

    A suitable power supply must be used to ensure the maximum forward current is not exceeded.

    The device requires a proper heat sink. It must be mounted using 4 screws (cross-tightened with an initial torque of 0.075 Nm and final torque of 0.15 Nm) or a clamp. Flatness deviation of the heat sink surface must be less than 0.05 mm. Indium foil or soft thermally conductive material is recommended as the thermal interface between the package base and heat sink. Thermal grease is not recommended.
