Chilas COMET – Swept Source Laser
Chilas COMET is a swept source laser featuring a fiber output power exceeding 10 mW, this laser is capable of sweeping across the entire C-band at a speed of 40 nm per second. A dedicated driver and improved calibration procedures allow for quasi-continuous sweeping across the full tuning range.
The swept source laser’s innovation lies in its fully chip-based wavelength filter, a design that eliminates the need for mechanical moving parts.

Comet Adapter
To ensure seamless system integration, the base module comes equipped with a standard DE9 connector. For added convenience, we offer an add-on module featuring connectors for power, communication (USB-C), and sweep synchronization (SMA). To meet laser safety standards, this module adds key control and a remote interlock connector.
For intuitive operation and control, we provide a software interface which includes a graphical user interface (GUI) for straightforward wavelength setting and tuning, along with a Python library for advanced laser control functions.
