Wavelength Electronics turned 30 in October! Since 1993, Wavelength Electronics has solved electronics problems in photonics systems from our factory in Bozeman, Montana. We started with driving laser diodes and controlling their temperatures. Our first products were OEM modules and components that laser engineers could design into their own systems. The vision was to provide benchtop instrument performance in a small package.

We’ve maintained our focus on LD safety and evolved to offering only high-performance solutions – very stable current, very low noise, very stable wavelength through temperature stabilities limited only by sensor precision.

We’re committed to researching new technologies as they emerge, and constantly expanding our capabilities. At present, our CW laser diode drivers can modulate in the MHz range. We can scale the output currents to support VCSELs at the low end and pump diodes at the high end. Our temperature controllers easily achieve mK stability – regardless of environmental conditions. We offer both linear and higher efficiency PWM output stages.

Researchers from the Indian Space Research Organization in Bengaluru, India have developed and demonstrated the absorption spectroscopic capabilities of a chip-scale Rubidium (Rb) atomic vapor cell using a thermoelectric cooler integrated VCSEL light source in a magneto-optic package. The custom 3D-printed design provides real time analysis of spectral data. With over 600 hours of data, absorption resonance lines were recorded and analyzed for transitions ⁸⁵Rb and ⁸⁷Rb with absorption amplitude and FWHM data agreeing with known literature values.

Complex chemical and biological reactions require fast (sub-second) spectroscopy with high spectral resolution. Researchers from Switzerland have developed a Fourier Transform (FT) spectrometer designed around a custom, continuous rotation scanning mirror, enabling millisecond acquisition times while maintaining high spectral resolution in the sub-GHz range. The demonstrated system incorporates the advantages of both FT spectroscopy as well as dual-comb spectroscopy. This design not only uses a single frequency comb for dual-comb spectroscopy, but can prove useful in a variety of spectroscopy applications where high speed, large optical bandwidth, and high spectral resolution are desired.

The LFI3751 high-performance Autotune PID temperature control instrument has been used for cell monitoring, PCR, cancer therapy, quantum systems, and medical/biochemical/materials research equipment.  Now, this powerful controller has been CE certified, enabling access to markets that accept and require CE-marked devices.

Use the LFI3751 to drive up to ±5A to either thermoelectrics or resistive heaters with up to 9.5V compliance. This instrument operates from AC (100-240V, 50 or 60Hz). Expect stability as good as 0.001°C with thermistors. Even across ambient, this PID controller maintains precision temperature.

From the front panel, adjust temperature limits, current limits, setpoint, PID control values, sensor calibration data, and enable or disable output current. The Analog model has an external analog setpoint input via BNC on the rear panel. The 4-digit display shows actual or setpoint temperature or resistance, output current and voltage.

With the concern over the changing climate and the rise of pollutants in the air, precise and effective monitoring is needed for efficient reduction of greenhouse and hazardous gases in industrial production, transportation, and propulsion.

Free-space communications can overcome the logistical difficulties of broadband connections in remote or rural areas. By using long wave infrared (LWIR) quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) as optical sources, high data rates can be transmitted error-free, eliminating the need for physical connections.

By experimenting with live video broadcasting at different levels of video formats, researchers realized free-space live video broadcasting with a room temperature QCL at a wavelength of 8.1 μm. The high definition video format (1280 pixels x 720 pixels) is transmitted at a data rate of 1.485 Gbits/s without any errors.

High definition video broadcasting requires high precision and stable control of the quantum cascade laser in signal transmission.

The effects of exceptional point (EP) singularities can naturally be seen in many applications in physical problems: mechanics, electromagnetism, atomic and molecular physics, quantum phase transitions, quantum chaos, and much more. Researchers from Switzerland have developed a more practical and robust method for studying these effects. As lasers provide an ideal system for direct observation and engineering of spectral singularities, two dual section distributed feedback (DFB) quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) were designed with Fabry-Perot modes and quarter wave shifted (QWS) DFB modes.

Capillary-based backscattering interferometry has been used as a highly sensitive refractive index sensing tool to measure molecular binding. Generally, ray tracing is used to simulate the backscattered light from the specific capillary. Previous ray tracing models do not account for polarization effects, capillary dimensions, material choices, and other parameters that could change the interference patterns captured.  Researchers from the United Kingdom have developed a comprehensive ray tracing model including many parameters not previously reported.
