Precision measurement
Narrow linewidth lasers have important applications in precision ranging, facial detection and other fields. The stabilized frequency lasers, dual-frequency lasers and swept frequency lasers provided by Precilasers can be used in these high-precision optical detection applications.
Based on Michelson interferometer⁽¹⁾or Mach-Zehnder interferometer，The displacement can be measured at the nanometer level with high precision using a narrow linewidth frequency-stabilized laser.Interference signalI(ΔL)and relationship between the displacement change ΔL is:
By locking the frequency of the laser to the absorption spectrum of atoms and molecules, the long-term stable output of the laser frequency can be used for precise interferometric ranging.

Based on a similar principle, or Fizeau interferometer⁽³⁾，Narrow linewidth lasers can also be used for high-precision Surface Topography Measurement of precision optical components.Usually, detection is achieved by moving optical elements or scanning the laser wavelength.The scanning laser wavelength method can realize detection without mechanical movement and achieve higher accuracy and stability. Therefore, the scanning laser wavelength interferometer has gradually become the mainstream.This requires achieving narrow linewidth laser output while realizing ultra-large range linear scanning.The high-precision swept-frequency laser launched by Precilasers can achieve continuous linear scanning of 200-300GHz at multiple wavelengths without mode hopping during the scanning process, providing a high-quality light source for high-precision surface detection.
Precilasers' swept laser can achieve continuous mode-hop-free scanning of multiple wavelengths, with a large scanning range, high accuracy and high linearity, and can be applied to optical precision measurement, surface measurement and other fields.
Wide range swept laser

|
| 775nm | 10mW | By scanning the seed laser and actively compensating, a linear frequency scan up to 350 GHz is achieved. |
