Product Overview
1. Single-Mode VCSEL Bare Die for Cesium Atomic Clock Optical Pumping
This 894.6 nm single-mode GaAs VCSEL bare die is designed for cesium D1-line optical pumping in Cs vapor-cell and CPT atomic clock systems. It supports low-current CW operation and provides a compact bare die format for engineering evaluation, vapor-cell atomic clock module development, and laboratory optical source testing.
Under the specified test conditions of Ta = 80°C, IF = 1.4 mA, and DC = 100%, the device provides a typical peak wavelength of 894.6 nm, typical optical output power of 0.3 mW, typical threshold current of 0.6 mA, typical forward voltage of 1.8 V, and typical slope efficiency of 0.37 W/A.
Additional reference parameters include a minimum single-mode suppression ratio of 20 dB, minimum polarization extinction ratio of 15 dB, maximum spectral linewidth of 100 MHz, typical wavelength shift versus temperature of 0.06 nm/K, and typical wavelength shift versus current of 0.3 nm/mA. The die size is 200 μm × 240 μm with a thickness of 150 μm, supporting compact integration into cesium atomic clock modules.
2. Application Development Direction
This product is suitable for cesium vapor-cell optical pumping, Cs D1-line atomic clock evaluation, CPT cesium atomic clock development, precision timing and frequency-reference systems, laboratory optical source testing, and integration into compact vapor-cell atomic clock modules.
Final wavelength matching, tuning range, spectral linewidth, polarization, output power, beam profile, modulation characteristics, bonding process, and package-level optical performance should be validated according to the customer’s actual vapor-cell, optical-path, temperature-control, and electronic-drive conditions.
Optional package configurations may include standard TO-can packaging, integrated TEC temperature control, NTC thermistor or PT1000 temperature sensing, vacuum-sealed packaging, and dry-nitrogen-filled packaging. Custom operating-temperature wavelength binning, output-power direction, die configuration, package structure, and temperature-control architecture may also be discussed according to specific project requirements.
