Product Description

QTekLaserTM products with model No. QT-LASR-SFG-xxx-x-x are a series of fiber-laser products using sum-frequency generation (SFG), providing directly collimated narrow-linewidth laser sources at wavelengths ranging from 609 to 706 nm and 822 to 900 nm and power levels up to 20 W. An integrated smart internet-of-things (IoT)-based control system enhances the user-friendly interface. The system is packaged in a typical industrial 19" 3 or 4U rack-mountable chassis.

Sum-Frequency Generation (SFG)

The wavelength range of QTekLaser products can be further extended using the nonlinear process of sum-frequency generation (SFG). This architecture is illustrated in figure 1. The two fundamental lasers are usually made of different gain fiber amplifiers. The extended wavelength values are summarized in the blue-shaded cells of table 1. This method achieves high power at certain wavelengths.
