1398nm 20mW DFB Laser Diode for H2O Sensing
1398 nm distributed feedback (DFB) laser diode module is a cost-effective laser source with high coherence. The DFB laser diode chip is housed in an industry-standard hermetically sealed 14‑pin butterfly package, integrated with a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and a photodetector (PD).This module is designed for both performance and practicality. The hermetic package enhances stability in harsh environments, the built‑in TEC enables precise temperature control to ensure wavelength stability, and the PD allows real‑time monitoring of laser output power. It is well suited for applications requiring high coherence and wavelength accuracy, such as gas sensing, optical fiber communications, and spectroscopic analysis.
Product features:Narrow linewidth: < 2 MHz; industry-standard 14-pin butterfly package; excellent wavelength control and stability; mode-hop-free tuning; high reliability; customer-specific wavelengths available
Part Number:MP-DFB-1398-20-A81-14BF-PA
Application area:Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy | H₂O (gas) monitoring
