649 nm Fiber Laser

The QTekLaser™ 649 nm Fiber Laser is a state-of-the-art system using robust sum-frequency generation (SFG) to deliver stable, narrow-linewidth (<10 kHz), polarization-maintaining light up to 6 W. With <1% power stability and an IoT-enabled interface in a compact 4U 19" rack-mount chassis, it sets a new standard for reliability in demanding environments.

Sum-Frequency Generation (SFG)

The wavelength range of QTekLaserTM products can be further extended using the nonlinear process of sum-frequency generation (SFG). This architecture is illustrated in figure 1. The two fundamental lasers are usually made of different gain fiber amplifiers. The extended wavelength values are summarized in the blue-shaded cells of table 1. This method achieves high power at certain wavelengths.

QTekLaserTM lasers comply with Federal Regulations (21 CFR Subchapter J, Part 1040)  as administered by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health and are certified to IEC 60825-1:2014 standards.

It is the end user's responsibility to ensure that no significant light is retroreflected back into QTekLaserTM systems as this can degrade performance and potentially damage the lasers. To prevent this, the use of an external optical isolator is strongly recommended.  Damage due to retroreflected light is not covered under warranty.
