The New Focus 6427 Vidia-Discrete laser is an external-cavity diode laser (ECDL) based on the Littman-Metcalf design. The system provides high resolution when stepping between wavelengths. The laser's output power is controlled by an ultra-low-noise current source. A temperature-control circuit actively stabilizes the laser-cavity temperature for optimal performance. This laser unit is a stable, narrow-linewidth source of tunable light and operates in three modes: track, automated stepscan, and interactive step-scan.
