Superluminescent Diodes: advanced broadband light sources for high-precision applications
LASER COMPONENTS offers a diverse selection of Superluminescent Diodes (SLDs) from INPHENIX, ideal for a broad range of applications. SLDs, optoelectronic semiconductor devices, emit light through amplified spontaneous emission with high spatial coherence, intense output, and minimal temporal coherence, setting them apart from traditional laser diodes, which rely on optical feedback. These unique properties make SLDs invaluable for high-performance solutions in multiple fields.
In optical coherence tomography (OCT), SLDs provide high-resolution imaging in critical medical fields like ophthalmology and cardiology. With near-infrared emission, they achieve deep tissue penetration, offering micrometre-scale resolution for detailed diagnostics.
SLDs also excel in white light interferometry, enabling precise surface profiling by harnessing broadband optical interference, essential in industries requiring high-accuracy measurements.
In fiber-optic communication, SLDs are vital for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) in passive optical networks. Their wide spectral range supports testing, chromatic dispersion measurements, and serves as a stable, broadband seed light source for complex network infrastructures.
Remote sensing applications benefit from SLDs' broad spectral capabilities, supporting environmental monitoring and precise measurements of variables like temperature, pressure, strain, and voltage, even in challenging conditions.
