VBG® products are based on a patented Volume Bragg gratings technology. VBG® technology enables wavelength stabilization of laser diodes of practically any wavelength (350 to 2500 nm) or power level. These devices are compact, versatile and low cost.

VBG® stabilized laser diodes for Raman spectroscopy and instrumentation

A major application for VBG® stabilized laser diodes is instrumentation, such as Raman spectroscopy, flow cytometry, DNA sequencing and other bio-instrumentation. The VBG® wavelength stabilized devices have excellent characteristics: Both, stabilized laser diodes and complete, high stbility laser modules, (sources), for Raman spectroscopy and other instruments are available.

  • Single frequency to multimode operation
  • Wide range of power level adjustability
  • Stability over wide temperature ranges
  • Free-space or fiber coupled configuration
  • Standard wavelengths are 532 nm and 785 nm, others available

VBG® wavelength stabilization of high power laser diodes and laser diode arrays

Another major application of VBG® technology is the wavelength stabilization of high power laser diodes and laser diode arrays, e.g., for more efficient pumping of solid state lasers and fiber lasers. Some dramatic improvements have been achieved:

  • Narrow line width, < 0.5 nm
  • Precise center wavelength control, +/- 0.5 nm
  • Reduced thermal drift, ~0.01 nm/C

VBG® Wavelength Stabilized High Power Laser Diodes – Single Emitters

VBG® wavelength stabilization can be applied to laser diodes of any power or wavelength. Our standard products in the single emitter line are 1, 2 and 3 Watt diodes in C-mount, TO 3 and 9 mm can packages. Standard wavelengths are 785 nm, 808 nm, 938nm and 976 nm. Please inquire about the availability of other wavelengths.

The geometry and dimensions of VBG® stabilized diodes are comparable to standard high power laser diodes. VBG® stabilized diodes have many important applications, e.g., in diode pumping of solid state lasers, in spectroscopy and sensing, and in medical and military areas.
