CTL
Continuously tunable laser
Tune widely without worrying about laser modes
CTL Continuously tunable laser
The CTL is the ultimate choice when looking for a laser that is widely and continuously tunable without any mode-hops. It has high power, a narrow linewidth and low drift, and is available between 750 and 1750 nm. Scans can be performed with highest resolution. Mode-hops are prevented by an innovative opto-mechanical design together with an active feedback loop called SMILE (Single Mode Intelligent Loop Engine) that keeps the laser on the same mode at all times (patent US9960569B2). With the fully digital, low noise and drift DLC pro controller, the CTL laser is easy to use and operate via touch-screen and knobs as well as via remote PC GUI and command language (Python SDK). DLC CTL includes a test system for characterizing components or recording spectra.
Your Benefits
Continuous tuning - continuous measurements
No mode hops across the full tuning range - up to 130nm. Just tell CTL a wavelength and it will tune there - or perform a linear scan from one wavelength to another - while recording spectra simultaneously. Don't miss a spectral feature like a quantum dot resonance or perform tedious scan stitching - just scan - and easily make the best measurements ever.
Pick your wavelength
CTL is available between 750 nm and 1750 nm. Several CTL models are available, enabling mode-hop free tuning and measurements between 750 nm and 1750 nm.
