• Stable single cavity without external cavity or feedback.
• Tunable by either temperature or current
• Very low mode partition noise
• Low RIN -160dB/Hz
• Low sensitivity to environment and mechanical vibration

Applications:

• Coherent Communications Systems

Eblana has developed a monolithic Dual Mode Laser which delivers simultaneous emission at two distinct wavelengths. When used for optical heterodyning, the terahertz emitter is irradiated with two adjacent modes of appropriate wavelength offset such that the terahertz difference frequency may be tuned continuously, e.g. from 0 to 1.5 THz.

Technical Attributes:

• Simultaneous emission at 2 different wavelengths. Fixed (or tunable) spacing.
• Up to THz optical frequency difference between peaks.
• Ideal source for dual wavelength measurement system or high frequency signal generation
• Compact and reliable single chip design

Applications:

• Optical beat source for tunable THz generation
• Photonic system applications requiring dual mode-locked emission from a monolithic source
