Chilas CF3 – 1550 nm ultra-narrow linewidth laser
The Chilas CF3 is a C-band external cavity laser (ECL) in a standard 14-pin butterfly package, offering ultra-narrow linewidth performance below 5 kHz and a tuning range of over 50 nm. Designed for OEM integration, the CF3 is ideal for customers who need bare laser components rather than a complete module.
Key features
- Ultra-narrow linewidth < 5 kHz
- 14-pin butterfly package with PM pigtail (FC/APC)
- Built-in TEC for temperature stabilisation
- Mode-hop-free tuning > 0.25 nm
- Proven long-term stability
- High output power > 13 dBm
Applications
- LiDAR
- Distributed fiber sensing (DAS, DTS)
- Gas sensing and spectroscopy
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
- OEM laser integration
- Quantum optics research

Ordering Information
• Minimum order quantity: 10 units
Need fewer than 10? We understand that’s not always possible, get in touch and we’ll see what we can do.
• Looking for a complete laser module?
The CF3 is a bare component for OEM integration. If you need a ready-to-use module with electronics, software control, full connectivity, and no moving parts, you might want to take a look at our standard laser products:
→ ATLAS 1550 — C-band narrow linewidth tunable laser module
→ COMET — C-band swept source laser module
→ POLARIS — frequency-stabilized single-frequency laser module
