Request InfoToptica Photonics AGToptica Photonics AG is offering its FPI 100 Fabry-Perot interferometer line with 4-GHz free spectral range from 380 to 1700 nm. The instruments achieve a finesse of up to 1000 via broadband HR-coated mirrors. Five mirror sets cover the full spectral range, and the modular design allows the user to change the wavelength as well as the free spectral range. Low-noise detectors, high-speed amplifiers, a single-mode fiber coupler and thermal control tools are available. The devices can be driven with either the series DL scanning electronics or an independent scan generator.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra January 2024 IssueCompact Single-Frequency LasersThe 445-nm and 447-nm TopMode lasers from TOPTICA Photonics AG are single-frequency diode lasers made for high-resolution Raman spectroscopy, microlithography, multi-wavelength digital holography,...Photonics Spectra April 2024 IssueRaman Fiber AmplifierThe RFA from TOPTICA Photonics AG is a Raman fiber amplifier that covers a wavelength range from 1120 to 1370 nm.
