Applications

Specialized laser Systems

TeraXion customized laser platform is used to precisely control the frequency properties of any laser. Multiple orders of magnitude frequency noise reduction is accomplished by locking the laser to a specifically designed optical filter. This platform results in laser systems with the ruggedness and efficiency of semiconductor lasers and the precision of laboratory instruments.

Laser Metrology
Laser frequency reference modules enable precise phase measurements in positioning systems. They can also be used as absolute internal references in test and measurement systems.

Enhance interferometric sensitivity
TeraXion’s semiconductor laser based low phase noise source is perfectly suited to provide the required spectral purity to allow sensitive interferometric measurements.

Generate and distribute pure RF signals
Master/slave laser configuration allows the generation and distribution of extremely pure RF signals for astronomical observations and RF over optical communications.

Specialized optical communication applications

TeraXion’s expertise in enhancing performance of commercial optical communication systems is applied to highly specialized systems.

Dynamic dispersion compensation
FBG based dispersion compensation product line serves the need of high performance reconfigurable optical communication systems. TeraXion’s tunable (standard and latchable) dispersion compensators have been tested under program specific platform deployment conditions. In addition to standard communication link dispersion compensation, these devices are also suitable for dispersion emulator for test and measurements applications.

Optical coherent phase demodulation
TeraXion’s Optical Phase Locked Loop platform possesses all the phase noise, intensity noise and locking loop bandwidth control to enable optical coherent phase demodulation. TeraXion’s thorough understanding and modelling of the frequency noise characteristics combined with its characterization capabilities make it a key partner in novel optical coherent phase demodulation development.
