The LDL series from Santec provides reliable, narrow-linewidth performance across a broad wavelength range, with particular strength in the blue and near-UV. In addition to short-wavelength operation, LDL lasers are well suited to applications requiring wide, continuous tuning over large wavelength spans.
Available from 369 - 530nm and 630 - 1300nm, supporting both short-wavelength applications and wide scan requirements. The Littrow design enables an extended mode-hop-free tuning range, making it ideal for applications requiring continuous frequency scans over large ranges. For longer wavelengths requiring maximum stability, cateye-based systems may be preferred
Designed for operation from 369 nm to 500 nm, where stable, tunable sources are often difficult to achieve.
Machined from a solid aluminium block, the monoblock cavity eliminates vibration-sensitive components, ensuring robust and repeatable operation, with reduced acoustic sensitivity.
Decoupled vertical alignment and grating rotation enable smooth tuning across tens of nanometres without the need for realignment.
Typical linewidths are below 100 kHz at longer wavelengths and around 200 kHz in the blue, supporting high-resolution measurements.
Semi-hermetic sealing minimises the impact of air pressure fluctuations, improving long-term stability.
LDX/LDF variants support internal optical isolators and integration with the mLC Mini Laser Controller, enabling a compact, all-in-one solution with USB or TCP/IP control.
LDX/LDF variants support integrated laser diode controllers (mLC), optical isolators and fibre coupling, enabling a compact, all-in-one laser solution with USB or TCP/IP connectivity.
