Advancements in Single-Frequency Solid-State Laser Technology for Optical Communications

This innovative solid-state laser technology, developed in Mountain View, CA, incorporates a laser-diode pump, achieving remarkable high output power with enhanced durability. The 300 mW frequency-stable laser produces the sharpest signal available on the market and is notably 100 times more compact and 10 times more efficient than previous technologies. With sales exceeding 1,500 units and $15 million in revenue, this laser has applications in fiber optics communications, space-based optical communications, and instrument calibration, expanding its reach beyond scientific users to commercial markets.
