Frequently asked questions
What fiber-coupling options are available?
Neon-Seed & Neon-Flex: We deliver our system with a PM FC/APC patch cord, with a standard length of 1 meter.
Do I need an optical isolator?
We systematically include one optical isolator in our laser systems. For a controlled and/or known environment, it is not necessary to add another optical isolator. If you're exploring amplification, we advise adding a second isolator.
What is the optical amplitude noise?
Neon-Seed & Neon-Flex: Optical noise is as low as ≤0.2 % rms (10 Hz–10 MHz)
What is the relative timing jitter?
Timing jitter relative to the input frequency carrier is ≤10 fs (10 Hz–10 MHz)
What is the beam quality?
Neon-Burst: M-square parameter is below 1.3
