Tunable Diode Lasers

We at New Focus™ understand that purchasing a Tunable Laser is an important decision. That’s why we want to share with you some of the key reasons why more scientists and engineers (>5,000 tunable lasers shipped to date) rely on us for their test-and-measurement tunable lasers.

Mode-Hop Free Guaranteed

No one wants mode hops to compromise their measurement or experiment. That’s why we ensure that all New Focus tunable lasers are mode-hop free across their entire specified tuning range. Guaranteed.

Best-In-Class Performance

Our tunable lasers deliver the highest performance available including unprecedented 2,000-nm/s tuning speeds, <200-kHz intrinsic linewidths, 70-dB ASE, and >100-nm tuning ranges.

Broadest Selection

We have the broadest selection of modehop-free tunable lasers available anywhere. With wavelength ranges from 630 nm to 1.8 µm, swept-, step-, coarse- and fine-tuning versions, high-power and low-noise configurations, and standard, customs and OEM models, New Focus is the place to find the right tunable laser for your needs.

Plug & Play

Tuning our lasers is as easy as pressing a button. You can tune without walking your beam, and with our easy-to-use remote interfaces (Ethernet, GPIB, RS-232 and/or USB 2.0 on all models), you have complete control over your laser from your computer.

Proven Reliability

Our tunable lasers have been used in some of the most demanding applications in the world.

  • Atomic clocks, atomic cooling, and laser seeding
  • High-volume fiber-optics production testing
  • Semiconductor metrology equipment
  • Biomedical instrumentation
  • Defense and aerospace
  • Environmental and industrial sensing
  • Spectroscopy
  • Interferometry

As an ISO-9001:2000 qualified supplier, our tunable lasers are designed and manufactured to the highest standards for quality.
Our lasers are used in laboratory and industrial environments and as OEM components and subsystems. The demands placed on them by this broad spectrum of users means you can depend on your New Focus laser to perform the way you expect.

Exceptional Value

Our tunable lasers deliver exceptional performance at an affordable price.
