Products

Laser femtoseconde TeraXion VINCI-1064

Sources de Lumière

Un portefeuille de sources de lumière haut de gamme, incluant des lasers à largeur de raie fine, des lasers à fibre femtoseconde, des diodes laser et des SLEDs. Ces solutions sont conçues pour offrir une précision et des performances exceptionnelles pour des applications avancées.

TeraXion's range of light sources is designed to meet the demands of next-generation systems in navigation, diagnostics, imaging, and augmented reality. It encompasses several product categories. The lasers include ultrafast models like the VINCI-1064 femtosecond laser and narrow-linewidth semiconductor lasers, such as visible Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser diodes and C-band DFB laser modules (LXM, LXC). The EXALOS line offers near-infrared and visible superluminescent diodes (SLEDs), as well as integrated optical modules combining multiple sources (RGB SLED/LD modules) and SLED transceivers. To complement these sources, TeraXion also provides the necessary electronics, such as SLED driver boards and balanced receivers. Benchtop broadband sources (EBS) are also available for laboratory and testing environments. Customizable solutions are offered to meet specific needs.
DFB (Distributed Feedback) lasers produce coherent light with a very narrow linewidth, ideal for communications and precise sensing. SLEDs (Superluminescent Diodes) emit a broad-spectrum, low-coherence light, which is advantageous for medical imaging (OCT) and gyroscopes to avoid interference patterns.
Yes, we offer SLED Driver Boards and Balanced Receivers as part of our electronics product line to complement our light sources.
Réflecteur haute puissance (HPR) pour laser à fibre de TeraXion

Composants pour Lasers à Fibre

Une gamme de composants optiques conçus pour les cavités de lasers à fibre, incluant des réflecteurs haute puissance, des filtres optiques, des verrouilleurs de longueur d'onde et des coupleurs de sortie.

TeraXion's fiber laser components are essential for building and optimizing high-performance fiber lasers. The portfolio includes cavity reflectors for CW/Q-CW lasers, such as the HPR (High-Power Reflector) and HPR Med-2 Series models, as well as specific reflectors for Raman fiber lasers (WaveShift). Spectrum management is handled by high-power optical filters, including the Raman Scattering Suppressor (RSS), the Wavelength Suppression Filter (WaveBlock), and the ASE Suppression Filter (ASE Shield). To stabilize the wavelength of laser diodes, the WaveLock Wavelength Locker is offered. Finally, for mode-locked oscillators, TeraXion provides specific output couplers like the Dispersion Management Reflector (DMR). These components are backed by over 25 years of expertise in fiber Bragg grating technology.
The WaveLock is a wavelength locker. It is used to stabilize the emission wavelength of a laser diode, which is crucial for applications requiring high spectral stability and precision, such as laser pumping or sensing.
The Raman Scattering Suppressor (RSS) filters out unwanted Raman scattered light, improving signal purity. The Wavelength Suppression Filter (WaveBlock) removes specific unwanted wavelengths. Together, they increase the signal-to-noise ratio and the overall performance of the laser.
Compensateur de dispersion accordable TDCMX-SM de TeraXion

Composants pour Communication Optique et Détection

Solutions pour les systèmes de communication et de détection optiques, comprenant des filtres optiques de haute précision et des modules de gestion de la dispersion chromatique.

TeraXion provides specialized components to maintain signal integrity in optical communication networks and to enable high-precision sensing applications. The range includes high-precision optical filters, available in fixed (OF) and tunable (TFN) versions, allowing for precise selection and filtering of optical channels. To counteract the effects of chromatic dispersion, which distorts signals over long distances, TeraXion offers a complete suite of management solutions. These include fixed dispersion compensators (DCML), tunable compensators for dynamic optimization (TDCMX-SM), as well as tunable laboratory versions (TDCMB) and fixed dispersion emulators (CDE) for R&D and testing. These components are also fundamental to emerging technologies like Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), where precision and stability are paramount.
A fixed compensator (DCML) is ideal for static optical links where the fiber distance and characteristics are known and stable. A tunable compensator (TDCMX-SM) is necessary in dynamic networks where optical paths can change, or to finely tune the compensation in real-time to maximize signal quality.
Yes, our high-precision optical filters, especially the tunable filters (TFN), are designed for applications such as Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) where it is necessary to isolate or route specific wavelength channels with low loss and high rejection.
Étireur d'impulsions accordable TuneStretch TPSR de TeraXion

Étireurs d'Impulsions

Composants de haute précision pour l'étirement temporel des impulsions laser ultracourtes. La gamme inclut des modèles fixes, accordables et des modules chirpés pour une gestion avancée des impulsions.

TeraXion's pulse stretchers are key devices for laser systems that use the Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) technique. They temporally stretch an ultrashort laser pulse before its amplification to avoid damaging optical components with excessively high peak powers. The portfolio includes several options to meet different needs. The FixedStretch (PSR) is a robust, pre-aligned fixed stretcher for specific applications. The TuneStretch (TPSR) offers tunability, allowing for adjustment of the dispersion and the duration of the stretched pulse. For a more integrated solution, the Chirped Module with VBG Compressor (CM-V) combines stretching and compression in a compact format. These solutions are designed for high precision and are customizable to fit the most complex optical systems.
A pulse stretcher is primarily used in Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) systems. It is necessary when you need to amplify ultrashort laser pulses (femtosecond or picosecond) to high energy levels without exceeding the damage threshold of the amplifier's components.
The FixedStretch (PSR) provides a fixed dispersion value and is optimized for a specific system configuration. The TuneStretch (TPSR) allows for dispersion adjustment, offering flexibility to optimize laser performance or to adapt to different experimental setups.
