100kHz Narrow-Linewidth High-Power DFB Laser

Narrow-Linewidth High Power DFB Laser

Product Manual V2.0

FXDFB-100K is built around the 100 kHz linewidth class and features single-longitudinal-mode output, low sensitivity to environmental vibration, and mode-hop-free behavior.

The product supports C-band ITU DWDM or customized wavelengths and provides 20 / 50 / 100 mW output power levels for instrument integration and engineering deployment.

Center wavelength, output power, connector, and temperature range can be configured by project.



 


Product Overview:

The 100kHz narrow-linewidth high-power DFB laser combines narrow linewidth, high output power, and low phase noise, making it suitable as a core light source for distributed fiber sensing and coherent measurement systems. It operates in the 1550nm/1.5um communication band and can provide 100mW (+20dBm) class optical output.

Key Features:

• 100kHz-class narrow linewidth helps improve coherent detection and Brillouin sensing performance.

• 100mW (+20dBm) high output power supports long-distance links and high-power-budget applications.

• Low phase noise and stable operation support engineering integration and long-term use.

Applications:

• BOTDA/BOTDR distributed temperature and strain fiber sensing light source.

• DVS distributed vibration fiber sensing, coherent detection, and beat-note measurement.

• Coherent wind LiDAR, precision optical measurement, and laboratory narrow-linewidth light sources.


Positioning and Applications

The 100 kHz linewidth class, power stability, and polarization-maintaining output jointly determine system performance. This DFB source is suitable for narrow-linewidth applications that require convenient integration, vibration robustness, and cost efficiency.
