nanoplus, Germany have announced the launch of superluminescent diodes (SLD) in the spectral band from 760 nm to 2900 nm.
The devices complement nanoplus well-known product portfolio of Distributed Feedback Lasers (DFB).
From the announcement: "We used our expertise as technology leader for DFB lasers to create broadband light sources in the near infrared.
For more than 20 years, we have been manufacturing DFB and Fabry Perot (FP) lasers with excellent performance - the same technology is used for our SLDs. The new SLD devices combine the proven beam quality of nanoplus DFB lasers with the large spectrum of LEDs. The following figures show the typical spectrum and power-voltage-current curves of a 2170 nm SLD."

cooling. For smooth installation select our plug and play module. It consists of an SLD mounted on a TO66 header, which is built in a heatsink with collimation optics.

Since nanoplus was founded in 1998, they have set the standards for ultra-precise Distributed Feedback Lasers in the gas sensing industry.
From 760 nm to 6500 nm they supply DFB lases at any customized wavelength with a precision of 0.1 nm. Mainly used for tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) the devices facilitate highly selective, sensitive and robust gas detection systems in industry and research. Even in remote and harsh environments they measure trace gases in situ, in real time and up to ppb precision. More than 30,000 installations worldwide prove the reliability of our DFB lasers. Typical applications include moisture detection in gas pipelines, emission control of greenhouse gases or breath gas analysis.
Consistent quality of their lasers is guaranteed by the high degree of automation at our two production sites. Both facilities are located in Germany and apply a strict ISO 9001:14001 certified quality management system.
We value the close cooperation with our customers. Nearly 80 % of their devices are more or less customer-specific. As a fully vertically integrated company, nanoplus control the whole process chain from design to packaging and are flexible to adapt our processes to customer specifications.
