SemiNex has expanded its portfolio of precision laser sources with the launch of its high-power ECLs. Engineered for both fixed-wavelength and wavelength-swept operation, this product line addresses growing demand in optical networks, FMCW LiDAR, quantum sensing, aerospace, and industrial metrology.
The butterfly-packaged ECLs deliver >200 mW fiber-coupled power with <3 kHz narrow Lorentzian linewidth, providing unmatched stability and accuracy. The wavelength-swept ECL modules combine high output power with user-defined sweep ranges and mode-hop-free operation, creating turnkey solutions for OCT, OFDR, and FMCW LiDAR.
ECL Performance & Specifications
