Fiber Lasers:

UOC Series of Ultrafast Optical Clocks are easy-to-use actively-mode-locked fiber lasers that provide high
pulse-repetition frequencies and high average output powers for 1550 nm time-division-multiplexed
communications R&D.  Models are available for the 1550 nm and 1060 nm bands with repetition rates from 5
to 40 GHz.  Now with Quick-Change filters for pulsewidths of <10 ps, <5 ps, <2.5 ps, and <1.6 ps.

FFL Series of Picosecond and Femtosecond Fiber Lasers are Er-doped (1550 nm band) and Yb-doped
(1060 nm band) fiber lasers that generate short pulses via mode-locking with an InGaAs saturable absorber. 
Models are available with pulsewidths of 10 ps, 5 ps, 2 ps, 600 fs, or 150 fs at pulse-repetition rates of 20 to
50 MHz, with 1 to 7 mW of average output power.  Polarization-maintaining output is standard on the FFLs.

RZT Series of RZ Optical Transmitters are easy-to-use sources of patterned optical data at 10 Gbps and
higher.  They combine the optical clock function of PriTel's UOC with an embedded data modulator to convert
external patterned RF data into optical patterned data.

 

Mulitplexers, Compressors, SHG:

OCM Series of Optical Clock Multipliers increase the frequency of input optical signals in the range of 10
to 40 GHz by factors of 2, 4, 8, and 16.

FP Series of FEMTOPULSE™ Optical Pulse Compressors are unique 1550-nm optical fiber amplifiers that
provide for amplification of short pulses with minimal self-phase-modulation and minimal dispersion.  Models
are designed for use with PriTel's lasers to compress 3-ps pulses to <400 fs.

SHG Series of Second Harmonic Generators combine the ease of operation of the FFL laser with fiber
pigtailed optics of the Periodically Poled LiNbO₃ module into a 765-780 nm tunable source with pulse
repetition rates from 10 MHz to 100 MHz.

Optical Fiber Amplifiers:

FA Series of Low and High Power Optical Fiber Amplifiers are designed for R&D applications in
telecommunications, CATV, fiber lasers, optical switching, solid state lasers, metrology, etc.  Low-power
models are available with output powers from 12 to 23 dBm, and high power models are available with output
powers from 24 to 37 dBm.

PMFA Series of Polarization Maintaining Optical Fiber Amplifiers provide lower noise and reduced
amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) than non-PM amplifiers while maintaining the input polarization with a
high extinction ratio, >22 dB.  Models are available with output powers up to 13 to 30 dBm.

SPFA Series of Sub Picosecond Optical Fiber Amplifiers employ short lengths of Er-doped and undoped
fibers to minimize dispersion, as well as Er-doped fiber with a 10-micron core diameter in some models (vs. 5
microns in the FA Series) to obtain high pulse power.  Models are available with output powers up to 30 dBm.

LNHPFA Series of Low-Noise High Power Optical Fiber Amplifiers are high-sensitivity, low-noise power
amplifiers.  Model LNHPFA-23 produces 23 dBm of output power with input power of only -20 dBm by
integrating a low-noise preamplifier, a tunable band-pass filter, and a high-power amplifier.

FA-L Series of L-Band Optical Fiber Amplifiers are designed for R&D applications at 1565 to 1615 nm.
Models are available with output powers up to 27 dBm.  Dispersion management allows excellent sub-
picosecond pulse performance in the L-Band with minimal polarization mode dispersion.
