Room Temperature Pulsed Broad Gain Laser for EC
RT-P-BG-QCL
Multimode lasers such the Room Temperature Continuous Wave Broad Gain Illuminator can be used in an External Cavity to provide single-mode operation with a broad tunability. Alpes Laser offers a integrated external cavity system called the Glider; on this page you can find chips similar to those used in the Glider system which can be used to build your own external cavity systems.
The following table lists the specific performance of the Broad Gain lasers shown in pulsed mode (except BG-3.2-3.6 which operates CW). Only the tuning range and minimum power over the tuning range are part of the specification; the typical tuning curve is shown as an example and each laser will have a different tuning curve. The average power will vary over the tuning range and will will exceed the minimum value at its optimal point by a large amount but this maximum value can vary from laser to laser.

Furthermore, standard Fabry-Perot lasers with a narrower gain can also be used in external cavities. You can see here a small subset of the performances available. For performances at other wavelengths, write to us to request testing!
