Ortel belongs to the Photonics Foundries group and has launched its latest innovative product - the 1786 1550 nm laser module, aimed at significantly improving optical sensing in various applications. This laser module is designed specifically for continuous wavelength operation and is a key component of systems that require coherent light sources for precise sensing in environments with fluctuations in temperature and humidity levels.

Gyo Shinozaki, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Ortel, expressed enthusiasm for this release: "The launch of the 1786 laser marks an important milestone, as Ortel's first product release after integration with Photonics Foundries marks the beginning of a series of breakthrough technological developments that our customers can expect.".

The characteristics of the 1786 laser are narrow linewidth, multiple output power options, and a linewidth of up to 300 KHz. It offers 40mW, 50mW, and 63mW models to meet different design requirements. The packaging of this device adopts a standard 14 pin butterfly package with a built-in thermoelectric cooler, which can maintain performance stability under different temperature and humidity conditions. The 1786 laser complies with the Telcordia GR-468 standard, ensuring reliability and complements Ortel's 1790 model, which is known for its ultra narrow linewidth below 100 kHz.

The launch of the 1786 laser has expanded Ortel's application portfolio in LiDAR and optical sensing, meeting a wide range of industrial needs, from material characterization and mechanical strain monitoring to terahertz spectroscopy, interferometry, and precise position and interferometry measurements.
