Single-mode, coaxial pigtailed — LZFL series

Tail-fibre coupled single-mode sources with an FC/APC or FC/PC connector. The model number carries the wavelength and the fibre core diameter, so LZFL-638-100mW-4 is a 638 nm source on 4 µm core fibre. Supplied with a coaxial, hermetically sealed package and digital modulation on request. Single-mode fibre, FC/APC or FC/PC; continuous output unless the model states otherwise. Wavelengths outside this list are quoted on request.
