The primary advantage of a DBR laser over a DFB or VCSEL is its inherent wavelength tunability. DBR lasers designed for optical fiber communications can tune across the entire C-band, making them them attractive as source laser for wavelength-division-multiplexed transmission. WDM systems can...

That ilda port (25 pin in / out) is a way to control the projector in real-time with analog voltages that directly drive the scanners x y position and modulate the lasers' red green and blue levels. There are a number of different commercial devices designed to produce this set of signals. In...

Ron, Your use of understatement is making me laugh. This unprecedentedly remarkable and timely scroll from your ancient library answers many questions and provides many fascinating and useful insights. You have made a forensic laser show archaeologist very happy. We've got the emulator. We've...
