spectral width

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

spectral width

The amount of the electromagnetic spectrum that a laser beam covers. Thus far, it has been impossible to produce light pulses with zero spectral width. For example, a 1540 nm pulse might actually cover 1539.9 to 1540.1 nm, but not 1540.0 dead on. See optical bands.

The 1 Watt 100 micron single emitter C-mounted products feature the world's first internal grating at 808nm which serves to decrease the spectral width of the device while increasing the center wavelength stability and accuracy over time and temperature.
A monolithically-integrated grating defines the 976 nm output wavelength, which is stable relative to changes in temperature and drive current while maintaining a narrow spectral width.
The narrow spectral width and ultra-fast rise times of VCSEL transceivers contribute no penalty to these optical link budgets; therefore, the link distances are limited only by receiver sensitivity and fiber attenuation.
