DRS Daylight Solutions CW-MHF Mid-IR Laser

The CW-MHF Mid-IR Laser is the ultimate tool for high-resolution, mid-IR spectroscopy. If you need high spectral resolution, phase-continuous tuning to avoid jumping over spectral lines, or both, the DRS Daylight CW-Mode-Hop-Free laser will meet your needs. Narrow-linewidth operation and MHF tuning is a high bar to reach in any laser system. Unique in the industry, the CW-MHF system provides open-loop linewidths of ? 5MHz (over 100ms) and MHF tuning to > 30cm^-1, and often to > 100cm^-1*.

Features:

• Wavelength availability: < 4 to > 11 µm
• MHF tuning range: >= 30cm^-1 to100 cm^-1 (typical, depending on model)
• CW power > 70mW typical*
• Linewidth (FWHM < 5MHz (10ms) and < 10MHz (1s)
• Wavelength accuracy of ± 0.5cm^-1 (± 15GHz), unidirectional
• Ultra-quiet, with RIN as low as -140dBc/Hz, enables higher-SNR spectroscopy
• Superb TEM₀₀ beam quality, low beam pointing
• SideKick™ controller, GUI, and SDK included with all systems
• Proprietary HFQD™ circuitry to protect your chips

Drawing on years of precision engineering and manufacturing experience, the CW-MHF laser achieves this performance with a highly stable laser cavity that, guided by finite element analysis, was designed to reduce susceptibility to acoustic perturbation. The CW-MHF laser also includes two ways to modulate wavelength: via a PZT or current modulation. This exclusive combination of wide MHF tuning, narrow-linewidth operation, and modulation capability enables high-resolution spectroscopy and/or locking to a wavelength reference.
