A high performance narrow linewidth single frequency laser capable for OEM applications suitable for volume production.
The 1064 nm PLANEX™ laser product is high performance and industry-proven single frequency External Cavity Lasers (ECL) based on RIO’s proprietary planar technology – PLANEX™. The PLANEX laser consists of a gain chip and a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) that includes a Bragg grating. The coupling of these components forms a cavity with significant benefits: with up to 20 mW output power, very low RIN, low phase noise and narrow linewidth, and very low wavelength sensitivity to bias current and temperature.

With backscatter level sensitivity, a ruggedised integrated design and touchscreen, they are ideal for testing fibre optic networks deployed in aerospace, naval, land, data-centre and industrial applications.
The LUNA PCD-005 Polarization Scrambler Module rapidly randomizes the instantaneous polarization state of output light to achieve a time-averaged depolarization effect. It includes circuitry to cover several wavelength bands, improve temperature performance and add remote control capability.
The LUNA MPC series are electrically controlled, all-fibre polarization controllers based on fibre squeezing technology. They are also available with a driver board as the PCD-M02.
The LUNA PDD-001 Polarization Diversity Detector combines a high ER polarization beam splitter with matched photodetectors to simultaneously monitor the powers of both polarization components of a signal.
LUNA's high-speed polarization state generator (PSG) module enables quick generation of up to six distinctive polarization states (LCP, RCP, Linear ±22.5°, Linear ±67.5° ) across a Poincaré sphere in less than 50 μs between two consecutive states, with high repeatability of less than 0.1°.
The LUNA PSM-002 Miniature Polarization Scrambler is a small module that generates discrete, random states of polarization (SOP) at a user-controllable rate.
The LUNA all solid-state, high speed self-latching polarization switch can quickly and repeatedly rotate the SOP of incoming light by a fixed angle, either 45 or 90 degrees, or convert an input linear polarization state to an output circular polarization state with 45 μs switching time, typically.
