Description: Fabry
Perot Diode Lasers are the most common type of diode lasers. They are
spacially single mode. Typical geometrical sizes of the laser chip are 1000µm x
500µm x 200µm (length x width x height). Depending on the chip length, Fabry
Perot lasers operate longitudinally single- or multimode. The laser chip is
grown by MOVPE of compound semiconductor material. The optical gain is
provided by double heterostructure which include several Quantum Wells for
electronic confinement. Typcal emitter width range between 3µm and
7µm. The surfaces of the laser chip act as cavity mirrors due to the
difference of the refractive index of the laser material and the surrounding
air. These optical surfaces are protected by thin optical films for
lifetime purposes.
Available wavelength range from 375nm .. 440nm, 635nm
.. 1710nm. Output power range from 1mW .. 200mW. The most commone
types of laser mount are 5.6mm TO-can and 9mm TO-can.
