Where to Buy Laser Diodes
Laser diodes are the most common laser sources and are available with a very wide range of emission wavelengths, optical power, beam quality and linewidth.

Check List for Laser Diodes
- What is the required emission wavelength? How precise does it have to be? (There are wavelength-stabilized laser diodes, exhibiting a much reduced temperature dependence of the wavelength, which is otherwise often of the order of 0.3 nm/K.)
- Do you have to tune the emission wavelength, e.g. via the drive current?
- Do you require a particularly narrow emission bandwidth, or is a standard bandwidth of a couple of nanometers acceptable?
- Keep in mind that the output characteristics may be spoiled if the diode gets a substantial optical feedback in your setup.
- How much output power do you need?
- For quasi-continuous-wave operation: can the required power be provided for a long enough time? What is the allowed duty cycle?
- For gain-switched diodes: are the obtained pulses sufficiently short and intense? Are there any after-pulses?
- Is a high power efficiency (wall-plug efficiency) important?
- What is the required beam quality in x and y direction?
- Do you need an attached beam shaper for conditioning (e.g., collimating) the output beam?
- In noise-sensitive applications: what is the relative intensity noise?
In case that you need additional advice, consultancy from RP Photonics may be the solution.

 All wavelengths. Lochhamer Schlag 19 82166 Gräfelfing Germany Quality: ISO 9001:2015 www.toptica.com Social: Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube E-mail: Tel.: +49 89 85 83 70 Fax: +49 89 85 83 72 00 |  TOPTICA offers a large variety of wavelength-selected single-mode laser diodes. Among more standard laser diodes you will also find "rarities", i.e. diodes with output wavelengths that only TOPTICA provides. The diodes can be purchased separately. In addition TOPTICA can integrate any diode from the stock lists into a tunable diode laser system: Fabry–Perot or AR-coated laser diodes may be integrated into a diode laser systems, DFB/DBR laser diodes into a DFB pro and Tapered Amplifier into an TA system. Each type of diode is carefully tested in an external cavity laser configuration with respect to coarse tuning range, mode-hop-free tuning range and power limits. The results are disclosed on request to the customer in a detailed datasheet. In case you can still not match your wavelength of choice, contact TOPTICA – and chances are very high that we can provide it |
