Frequently Asked Questions

The 1083.33 nm DBR Laser Diode is primarily used in atomic spectroscopy, specifically for metastable helium (He*) applications. Its precise wavelength and single-frequency operation make it ideal for high-precision spectroscopic measurements.

The laser diode is available in multiple packaging formats, including Chip on Submount (CoS), 9MM TO-8, C-Mount, and Transmitter Optical Subassembly (TOSA). Additional configurations include Mode-Hop Free (MHF) and Virtual Point Source (VPS) Lens options.

The 1083.33 nm DBR Laser Diode is Spectroscopy Certified, ensuring that it remains within the He* transition range ±10°C from room temperature. The wavelength tuning rate is approximately 0.06 nm/°C for temperature and 0.002 nm/mA for current tuning, providing fine control for precise applications.

The laser diode is available in Low Power (40–120 mW) and High Power (100–350 mW) versions. The maximum operating current is 250 mA for Low Power and 550 mA for High Power, with a slope efficiency of 0.7 W/A.

This device is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and must be handled with proper ESD protection, including a grounded work area and wrist straps. It should be stored in an antistatic container with all leads shorted together to prevent damage.
