1064 nm RIO PLANEX™ External Cavity Laser
A high performance narrow linewidth single frequency laser
capable for OEM applications suitable for volume production
The 1064 nm PLANEX™ laser product is  high performance and industry-proven single
frequency External Cavity Lasers (ECL) based on RIO’s proprietary planar technology PLANEX™. The PLANEX laser consists of a gain chip and a planar lightwave circuit(PLC) that includes a Bragg grating. The coupling of these components forms a cavity withsignificant benefits: with up to 20mW output power, very low RIN, low phase noise andnarrow linewidth, and very low wavelength sensitivity to bias current and temperature.
The 1064 nm PLANEX’s industry-standard footprint 14-pin butterly package, mounting
pattern and electrical connections make it an easy drop-in replacement for existing designs.
RIO’s PLANEX lasers are the next generation of optical solutions – combining the highperformance of long cavity fiber lasers with the low cost, simplicity and Telcordia GR-468
reliability qualified technology platform semiconductor lasers.
The 1064 nm PLANEX’s higher output power, low noise and narrow linewidth ideally position
this semiconductor optical solution for multiple applications where absolute accuracy, lifetime
reliability over demanding field conditions, and high resolution are vital, such as seeding offiber and solid state lasers, Second harmonic Generation (SHG), Optical Parametric
Oscillators (OPO), laser spectroscopy,  LIDAR and other precision metrology applications.
