Arctic Photonics Releases World's First Component Level Supercontinuum Laser Source

The MQO-SC, released in early October, is the world's first component level supercontinuum source. It is ideally suited for integration in OEM systems and instruments. It is based on a hermetically sealed design with telecom grade packaging. Output is provided via standard singlemode fiber with or without a fiber connector.

The MQO-SC is an ultra-compact, monolithic, short pulsed supercontinuum laser source that emits a spectrum from 750nm to >1750nm. These are available from Arctic Photonics and offered by their North American distributor RPMC Lasers Inc.

The MQO-SC can generate a pulse energy of >3uJ at 20kHz or less with a 2-3ns pulsewidth. Features include; drive electronics, variable rep rates, and a fiber coupled output.

Some of the common uses include:

• Component measurement
  
• Network measurement
  
• Spectroscopy
  
• Bioinstrumentation
