1064nm Externally Modulated Nanosecond Long Pulse Laser Source

Time:2018.12.26    Source:      Author:



       Connet 1064nm externally modulated nanosecond (ns) long pulse laser source produces the optical pulses from tens of ns to us level through an external modulator such as an acousto-optic modulator (AOM). This laser source is generally used for longer nanosecond (ns) pulse, such as hundreds of ns. The seed laser can be a semiconductor laser or a fiber laser. The way to generate the pulse via the external modulator can maintain the optical spectrum and the frequency spectrum characteristics of the seed laser and the optical pulse quality is excellent. This laser is suitable for the occasion with high demands for pulse, e.g. single frequency narrow linewidth pulsed fiber laser.

Connet has strong technical strength in the field of nanosecond (ns) pulsed fiber lasers and has a deep understanding on the key technologies of pulse generation, shaping, high power amplification and the nonlinear effect suppression such as stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and four-wave mixing (FWM). The operating wavelengths can cover 0.5um, 1.0um, 1.5um and 2.0um.

Notes:
1. The amplifier has a built-in acousto-optic modulator with the fixed pulse width of 500ns and the fixed repetition frequency at 200kHz. The input light is a continuous light. It is recommended to use the input light of > 30mW. The above tests are done under the input light of 50mW.
2. The output fiber is the bare fiber. The tests should be performed with an oblique octave.
3. Before turning on the amplifier, please confirm that the input light source is normally connected.
4. When turning off the amplifier, please do not shut down the power directly and should slowly reduce the power to the minimum and then turn it off.
