Low phase noise of the 250 MHz and 1 GHz laser models
New characterization publication:
Scott Diddams and his colleagues at NIST, the University of Colorado, and Menhir Photonics published a paper characterizing a 1 GHz frequency comb based on a Menhir-1550 mode-locked laser. ƒCEO was shown to have residual phase noise of 438 mrad and ƒopt residual phase noise was 40.6 mrad.
The Menhir-1550 GHz laser provides control capability over the repetition rate and carrier envelope offset and so it can serve as the engine for a high-repetition rate frequency combs, THz wave generation, and low-phase noise microwave generation.
Do you need 80-250 MHz repetition rate, broader bandwidth, shorter pulses, or matched repetition rates? We also offer the MLL-100 mode-locked laser. And fully stabilized frequency comb performance is available from the FFC-100 Frequency Comb.
Vescent is the exclusive Distributor of Menhir high-repetition rate mode-locked lasers in the US and Canada. For more information, visit the Menhir site.
Applications:
- Frequency comb development
- Optical Communication
