1060 nm Tunable VCSEL in TO Package with TEC

Wavelength tunable lasers based on the innovative High Contrast Grating.

Description

BW10-1060-T-TO

Bandwidth10’s 1060 nm TO-can is part of a family of lasers based on the innovative High Contrast Grating (HCG) single mode 1060 nm VCSEL.

Using the HCG as a tunable mirror leads to a wafer-scale, low cost fabrication process with simple voltage-controlled wavelength tuning for various applications.

The HCG VCSEL is co-packaged with a thermo-electric cooler for temperature and wavelength stabilization in a 7 pin cap package with an ASP lens. It offers fast wavelength tuning of more than 200 kHz and a tuning range of up to 50 nm.
