  • 1.0 μm High-Reliability Single-Frequency Seed Laser

  • 1.0 μm Industrial Single-Frequency Seed Laser (1064 nm)

    The 1064nm single frequency seed laser is the most widely used master oscillator wavelength in fiber laser systems. Nearly every high-power Ytterbium MOPA, coherent LiDAR transmitter, and 532 nm frequency-doubled green laser system starts here.

    Seed Laser’s PRo 1.0 µm Industrial Single-Frequency Seed Laser is built on highly doped specialty fiber in a centimeter-scale resonator. That compact cavity design produces sub-30 kHz linewidth, single longitudinal mode output with no mode hopping, no burst noise, and RIN below -130 dBc/Hz at 5 MHz. Temperature-control protection and vibration-resistant construction are integrated into the resonator itself, keeping performance stable across operating temperatures from -10 to 45°C and under real industrial vibration and shock conditions. PM980 fiber output, 50 mW, FC/APC connector standard.

    PRODUCT FEATURES 

    • Sub-30 kHz Linewidth, Mode-Hop-Free: Centimeter-scale specialty fiber cavity with kilohertz-level linewidth and no mode hopping across the wavelength tuning range. Mode-hop-free operation means no sudden frequency jumps during tuning or thermal variation:  essential for coherent sensing and MOPA seeding applications where a mode hop would disrupt the downstream system.
    • No Burst Noise, High SMSR:  Burst noise, the occasional large intensity spike found in some single-frequency lasers during mode competition, is eliminated by the compact resonator design. Side-mode suppression ratio above 60 dB confirms clean single-mode operation with no competing longitudinal modes.
    • Low RIN, Excellent Vibration Resistance: RIN below -130 dBc/Hz at 5 MHz. Special temperature-control and vibration-resistant resonator construction allows stable operation in environments where standard lab-grade seed lasers would lose lock or produce unstable output.

    TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

    • Coherent LiDAR and Laser Radar:  1064 nm is one of the two standard wavelengths for coherent LiDAR systems alongside 1550 nm. It offers stronger Rayleigh backscatter in fiber and better receiver sensitivity in some detection architectures. This seed laser’s mode-hop-free operation, sub-30 kHz linewidth, and low RIN meet the coherence and noise requirements of coherent Doppler LiDAR and range-finding systems.
    • Fiber Optic Sensing: Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), Brillouin sensing, and fiber interferometry systems at 1 µm require a seed source with stable frequency, low intensity noise, and vibration-resistant construction for field deployment. The industrial-grade design of this seed laser makes it suitable for both laboratory sensor development and deployed field instruments.
    • Gravitational Wave Detection: Research-scale interferometric experiments and prototype gravitational wave detection setups use 1064 nm seed lasers as the master oscillator. Sub-30 kHz linewidth with mode-hop-free operation and low burst noise keep the interferometric baseline stable throughout long measurement runs.
    • Coherent Communication:  Single-frequency 1064 nm sources are used in coherent optical communication research, short-range free-space optical links, and as local oscillator references in coherent detection experiments. Low RIN and high SMSR are the primary requirements in these applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a single frequency fiber seed laser?

-

A single frequency fiber seed laser, also called a DFB fiber laser or single longitudinal mode laser, emits at one precise optical frequency with extremely narrow linewidth. Engineers use it as a master oscillator in MOPA systems or as a standalone source in applications that require high spectral purity, long coherence length, and low phase noise.

What linewidth do I need for spectroscopy?

+

It depends on the absorption feature you are resolving. For TDLAS in combustion or gas sensing, sub-kHz linewidth is typically required to resolve Doppler-broadened absorption lines cleanly. For cavity-enhanced spectroscopy or optical frequency standards, Hz-level linewidth performance is the target.

What is the difference between a DFB and DBR seed laser?

+

A DFB (Distributed Feedback) fiber laser writes a Bragg grating directly into the active fiber, which acts as both the gain medium and the frequency-selective element. A DBR (Distributed Bragg Reflector) laser uses separate Bragg gratings as external cavity mirrors with an active gain section between them. DFB fiber lasers are generally more compact and mechanically stable, which makes them the preferred architecture for robust single frequency operation in demanding environments.

What coherence length does a sub-kHz fiber laser achieve?

+

Coherence length is inversely proportional to linewidth. A 1 kHz linewidth laser achieves a coherence length of approximately 95 km. At 100 Hz linewidth, that extends to around 950 km. For most interferometric sensing applications, sub-kHz performance already provides far more coherence length than the system requires.

What is a PM fiber seed laser and when do I need it?

+

A PM (polarization-maintaining) fiber seed laser delivers output in a defined, stable polarization state through a fiber that suppresses cross-coupling between polarization axes. You need PM output when the downstream optical system, such as a fiber amplifier, electro-optic modulator, interferometer, or sensing coil, is polarization-sensitive. Most precision scientific and sensing applications rely on PM fiber seed sources.
