SUPERLUM Tunable Swept laser and Optical Booster (OEM version)
for Bio-Medical OCT, Bio-Chemical Spectroscopy, Fiber-Optic Sensing and other applications.

Superlum’s newest Tunable Swept Laser is an OEM version of the BS-840-1 benchtop. It features Low DC Power Consumption and comes in a small package with an output power of 3 mW.  The Power Booster is a standalone unit that can be connected to the OEM laser to increase its output power to 20 mW.

The unique design of the external cavity of the laser has no moving parts, utilizes AOTF with high diffraction efficiency and narrow filtering (FWHM < 0.25nm) and allows long coherence length. Thermal stabilization of the AOTF ensures high stability of the laser wavelength over time and temperature.

The wavelength can be tuned between 805nm and 875nm, with sweep speeds at any value between 1 nm/s and 10,000nm/s. The width of the laser line does not exceed 0.05nm throughout the full tuning range. The new design ensures smooth, linear wavelength tuning at variable sweep rates, excellent sweep-to-sweep reproducibility of the output wavelength and the ability to sweep across the tuning range in either direction.

USB connection allows monitoring and controlling of the tuning parameters via PC using the Superlum companion software provided with the laser. You can use your own software by utilising the Superlum communication protocol. The OEM Tunable Swept laser also has a TTL remote port for synchronization needs.

The Superlum OEM Tunable Swept laser can operate in 3 modes:

• Single-wavelength continuous operation within the full tuning range
• Continuous wavelength sweeping at variable sweep speeds in the range of 1 – 10,000 nm/s
• External triggering of the sweep operation

• To prolong the lifetime of the laser, output emission is disabled during each pause between sweeps. In the free-running mode, the pause duration can be altered in the range of ~200 µs – 167 s.
• In the single-wavelength mode of operation, applying external TTL pulses to the TTL remote port allows pulse modulation with a minimum duration of 100 µs

Specifications in brief

780nm version will be available soon.

Presenting Superlum’s Brand New OEM Swept Wavelength Tunable Laser Source

Superlum celebrates 10 years of Broadsweeper Swept Wavelength Tunable Semiconductor Lasers with a new, compact version BS-840-1.

Substantial redesign of the laser resonator and control electronics have considerably minimized the device dimensions – only 110 × 190 × 41 mm. Therefore it is ideal for OEM applications and system integration. Superlum’s Compact Broadsweeper can tune the wavelength between 810 and 880 nm with a linear sweep at speed ranging from CW to 10000 nm/s. It produces 3 mW of the output power that can be increased to 20 mW by the external optical booster. FWHM linewidth of the laser is typically 0.05 nm. The other optical characteristics are similar to those of our standard bench-top version. There is an added USB interface for remote control versatility More information at:  sales@superlum.ie

Key applications:

• Bio-medical OCT
• Bio-chemical spectroscopy
• Fiber-optic sensing
• Interferometric applications

Revolutionary High Power SLD in visible range hits the market

SLD have been with us for over 2 decades with important uses across numerous industries, and with a myriad of applications. To date however, innovation has been hampered by their limits in the visible spectrum range. With Superlum’s research and product enhancements this is no longer the case. SLDs with a visible spectrum range around 675nm are now commercially available and are solving existing constraint problems in many industries. These are the highest power single special mode SLDs in the red spectral range available on the commercial market.
Click here to learn about this powerful new product, or contact our Sales team to start the conversation on how the power of this new SLD can enhance your world.
