SLD is an edge-emitting semiconductor light source that combines high power and brightness of laser diodes with low coherence of ELED. It can emit a single spatial mode light of the same power as a singlemode diode laser with ELED-graded spectrum width. Superlum offers SLD with SM fiber coupled power up to 20 mW ex fiber.The Superlum wide spectrum SLD series allow to get coherence length less than 10 µm.
