RIO’s 1550 nm and 1064 nm ORION laser module builds upon the proven performance of the PLANEX product series. Lasers are also available in ITU Grid wavelenghts and custom wavelengths in this range. In addition to high reliability and robustness, it provides superior value with up to 20 mW output power, very low RIN, low phase noise, narrow linewidth, and high wavelength stability. Its packaging is designed to achieve a highly integrated, self-contained module with a small form factor.
The heart of the ORION module is a high-performance single frequency External Cavity Lasers (ECL) based on RIO’s proprietary PLANEX technology. It consists of a gain chip and a planar light wave circuit (PLC) with a Bragg grating. The coupling of these components forms a cavity with significant benefits, such as low wavelength sensitivity to bias current and temperature.
These outstanding features make ORION the perfect semiconductor solution for applications that require high accuracy and resolution; e.g. Optical Parametric Oscillators (OPO), high-resolution spectroscopy, LiDAR and other precision metrology applications.
