The S1FC1550 Fiber-Coupled Laser Source conveniently packages a 1550 nm pigtailed FP laser diode and current controller into a single benchtop unit. The Fabry-Perot laser diode inside each unit is pigtailed to a single mode fiber that is terminated at an FC/PC bulkhead (wide 2.1 mm key compatible) attached to the front panel of the unit. Hence the output state of polarization will be randomly polarized. Laser sources that incorporate polarization-maintaining fiber are also available for many of the same output wavelengths.

Also found on the front panel is a display that shows the output power in mW, an on / off key, an enable button, and a knob to adjust the laser power. The back panel includes an input that allows the laser diode drive current to be controlled via an external voltage source and a remote interlock input. This fiber-pigtailed laser utilizes an angled fiber ferrule at the internal laser/fiber launch point to minimize reflections back into the laser diode, thereby increasing the stability of the laser diode's output.
