Description
The Photodigm 770.108 nm DBR Laser Diode is a high-performance, single-frequency laser designed for precision atomic spectroscopy applications, particularly potassium (K) D1 transition experiments. Built on Photodigm’s advanced monolithic Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) platform, this distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) laser delivers a single spatial mode beam with exceptional wavelength stability.
With a narrow linewidth of 500 kHz, a side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) of >40 dB, and a passivated facet structure for long-term reliability, it ensures high spectral purity and operational stability. The 770.108 nm Series DBR lasers are Spectroscopy Certified, guaranteeing accurate wavelength alignment with potassium transitions within ±10°C from room temperature.
This laser is available in Chip on Submount (CoS), TO-8, C-Mount, and Transmitter Optical Subassembly (TOSA) configurations, with optional Mode-Hop Free (MHF) and Virtual Point Source (VPS) lensing for enhanced beam control.
