Orbits Steadies Lasers

PASADENA, Calif. -- Orbits Lightwave, (Orbits), an innovative supplier of ultra-stable, low noise fiber lasers today announced the availability of its patent-pending StableLase technology in the Ethernal family of fiber lasers. StableLase technology ensures high stability and low noise performance under adverse environmental conditions including temperature cycling, shock and vibration.

Ethernal fiber lasers from Orbits operate in the eye-safe telecommunications C-band wavelength range (1530-1656nm) and are soon available between 1030-1060nm. Based on a novel and patented "virtual ring" laser architecture, Ethernal fiber lasers offer state of the art S/N and side-mode suppression, shot-noise limited RIN, ultra-low FM noise and excellent frequency stability with narrow (<1kHz) flicker line-width. Output powers to 100 mW (CW) are available in a compact package with low power consumption.

"Our Ethernal family of fiber lasers offers researchers and system developers alike an attractive solution when high stability and low noise performance is required," said Dr. Yaakov Shevy, Orbits Lightwave co-Founder and President. "These lasers offer state of the art performance and are proving themselves to be the laser of choice for critical applications such as the DARPA PHOR-FRONT program and NASA’s LISA experiment, which require low noise and high phase stability. With the development of Stablelase technology, Orbits can now offer Ethernal lasers as a field-deployable solution".
