Requirements / Specification Document

TITLE: Low Frequency Noise Continuous Wave Fiber Laser

Requesting Laboratory / Division / Group:

Communications Technology Laboratory Radio Frequency Electronics Division Guided Wave Electromagnetics (672.01)

General Statement of Need:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)/Communications Technology Laboratory (CTL) needs to measure precise laser heterodyne signals with high frequency stability and low noise. This will require a very low frequency noise fiber laser at 1550 nm.

Item Specifications and Quantities:

Item 1: Low Noise Continuous Wave Fiber Laser

Quantity: 1

Specifications: 1.1 Continuous Wave (CW) operation at 1550 +/‐ 0.15 nm center wavelength

1.2 Thermal wavelength tuning range greater than +/‐ 250 pm

around center wavelength

1.3 Fast wavelength modulation via electronic connector with

range greater than 0.4 GHz and with modulation bandwidth greater than 10 kHz

1.4 Lorentzian linewidth less than 0.1 kHz

1.5 Frequency noise less than 50 Hz/√Hz at 10 Hz offset

frequency

1.6 Frequency noise less than 10 Hz/√Hz at 100 Hz offset

frequency

1.7 Optical signal to spontaneous emission noise ratio greater than 45 dB at 50 pm resolution

1.8 22 mW or greater maximum average output power

1.9 Output power tunable from 10% or lower to 100% of

maximum average power

1.10 Constant pump current and constant output power modes

1.11 Polarization maintaining fiber output with 2 mm or 3 mm

plastic or stainless steel armored jacket and narrow key (2.0

mm) FC/APC connector aligned to fiber slow axis

1.12 Polarization extinction ratio (PER) greater than 20 dB on outputs

1.15 Laser should be a turnkey rack mountable instrument with front panel display for primary operation (i.e., turning ON/OFF, setting pump currents, enabling external modulation, and monitoring power and current settings)
