COMMERCIAL LASERS Continuous Wave (CW) Single-Frequency IR Laser NPRO® 125/126 Series Key Features • 1319 or 1064 nm outputs available • Fiber-coupled output • Proven nonplanar ring oscillator (NPRO) design • Superior power stability • Narrow linewidth • Tunability • Ease of use • Ideal for OEM applications Applications • Fiber-optic sensing • Coherent communications • Remote antenna links • Optical heterodyne • Lidar oscillator • Passive sonar The JDSU NPRO 125/126 diode-pumped lasers produces CW, single-frequency output at either 1064 nm or 1319 nm. Key features include fiber-optic or free-space output, narrow linewidth, low noise, frequency tunability, and adjustable power. The NPRO 125/126 lasers are used for a variety of applications including fiberoptic sensing, coherent communications, remote antenna links, optical heterodyne, lidar oscillators, and passive sonar. At the heart of each NPRO 125/126 laser is JDSU’s unique, monolithic, NPRO laser cavity delivering true single-frequency laser output. Since its initial development in 1985, NPRO technology has demonstrated a record of reliability and top-level performance. Amplitude noise for a typical NPRO 125/126 laser is <0.05% rms over the range from 10 Hz to 2 MHz, and less than -165 dB/Hz above 10 MHz (shot noise limited). This performance is achieved by combining an inherently quiet laser oscillator with a noise reduction circuit which effectively eliminates the laser's natural relaxation oscillation. NPRO lasers are built in a compact, OEM-friendly package. All necessary control electronics are onboard the laser head allowing for easy integration with existing systems or new product platforms.
