The FPV785M by ThorLabs is a volume-holographic-grating (VHG), wavelength-stabilized laser diode that is designed for use in microscopy and Raman spectroscopy applications. With feedback from the volume holographic grating, the FPV785M offers narrow-linewidth operation at 785 nm. This results in a typical spectral bandwidth (FWHM) of 0.06 nm, which enables it to deliver exceptional precision and accuracy in a wide range of applications.
The FPV785M is contained in a hermetically sealed butterfly package with 14 pins; this ensures temperature regulation which makes it ideal for usage in applications that require precise temperature control. The package includes a thermoelectric cooler (TEC), thermistor, and monitor photodiode, ensuring that the device remains stable and reliable throughout its lifespan. The FPV785M produces a wavelength-stabilized spectrum with a typical output power of 600 mW, which is coupled to 1.0 m of FC/PC-terminated multimode fiber. The output power is both high-powered and homogeneous, making it ideal for use in a range of demanding applications.
The FPV785M is compatible with laser diode drivers and temperature controllers, and to achieve the narrowest possible linewidth, it is recommended to use a driver with low drive current noise. It is also important to note that the FPV785M is sensitive to electrostatic shock, so it is imperative that users take appropriate precautions when handling the device. To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to clean the FPV785M fiber connector on the pigtail package before each use. Additionally, the center of the fiber tip can have a high laser intensity, and therefore users should exercise caution to avoid any potential accidents or mishaps.
