DL DFB BFY: Compact Butterfly Package
- DFB diode laser with built-in TEC, isolator, fiber pigtail
- Available wavelengths: 1064 nm, 1300 – 1670 nm
- Mode-hop free tuning range up to 5 nm
- Compact housing, superior heat management
- Options: HF modulation, additional fiber inline isolator
TOPTICA's new DL DFB BFY is a laser head designed for butterfly-type DFB diodes. The diode output is optically isolated and focused into a single-mode fiber pigtail. The compact and rugged laser head provides not only the required mechanical protection for the laser diode, but also a superior heat management even for high-power DFB diodes. The unit is available either with fiber output or with a fiber connector port.
