Superluminescent Diodes: 1700 nm - 2300 nm

nanoplus offers superluminescent diodes (SLDs) at any wavelength between 1700 nm and 2300 nm.

Key features of nanoplus superluminescent diodes

  • broadband
  • high-power
  • small footprint package

Why choose nanoplus superluminescent diodes

We used our expertise in DFB technology and various semiconductor materials to create broadband light sources in the NIR. These devices combine the proven beam quality of nanoplus lasers with the broad spectrum of LEDs.

Quick description of nanoplus technology for superluminescent diodes

nanoplus SLD are specially designed and characterized to fit your requirements. For more than 20 years, nanoplus has been manufacturing DFB and FP lasers with excellent performance: the same technology is used for our SLDs which we offer at any wavelength between 760 nm and 2900 nm.

Configure your SLD according to your needs. You may select between a free space, fiber coupled or OEM package.

Free space mounting for SLDs

nanoplus developed a specific free space package. The TO66 header disposes of an extra large thermo-electric cooler. It is hermetically sealed with a black cap and anti reflection coated window. Please click on the mounting for detailed specifications and dimensions.
