The Koheras BoostiK™ OEM module is an industrial single frequency DFB
fiber laser module with active wavelength control and wide-range thermal
wavelength tuning. It features ultra-narrow linewidth in the Hz range and
exceptionally low frequency and intensity noise.
The module is based on our industry-leading BasiK™ OEM laser modules
and has been designed for operation in harsh airborne or ground based
environments such as LIDAR, wind sensing, and security featuring unique
isolation to acoustic noise and vibrations.
The output power is 1 W and the center wavelength can be chosen freely
in the 1535-1585 nm range (e.g. on the ITU grid).
The BoostiK OEM comes in two models: the standard low RIN C15 and the
low phase noise E15.
For easy control of the BoostiK OEM module, an USB to RS485 interface
adapter is available including control software with graphical user interface.

Thermal Tuning
All Koheras fiber lasers are equipped with thermo electrical temperature
controllers (TECs). The TECs not only stabilizes the operation of the laser
desensitizing it to environmental temperature fluctuations, but also makes
it possible to achieve considerable tuning of the center wavelength by
changing the operating temperature of the laser. At standard room temperature (around 20-30°C or 68-86°F) the laser can be thermally tuned an
industry leading 1000 pm. Approximately 350 pm above normal operation
and 650 pm below. Please note, that if the laser is operated in very cold or
hot environments close to the temperature limits, this tuning range is truncated on either the upper or lower side.
