The Thorlabs Fiber Coupled Laser Sources provide easy coupling and simple control of laser diode driven fiber
optics. These laser sources are available in two versions, Fabry-Perot and Distributed Feed Back (DFB). The
Fabry-Perot version comes in 10 (four for the PM version) wavelength choices from 405 to 1550 nm (635 nm to
1550 nm for PM versions) with standard single mode fiber or polarization maintaining fiber output. The S1FCxPM
Series comes with a pigtailed Fabry-Perot Laser diode with polarization maintaining fiber behind an FC/PC
bulkhead connector with the key aligned to the slow axis. The DFB version comes equipped with a thermo-electric
cooler to stabilize the output wavelength, and a 40 dB optical isolator to eliminate frequency jitter due to back-
reflections. The DFB is available in 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths.
