The JDS Uniphase SDL 81 is a laser diode system available in multiple configurations for fiber-coupled optical applications. The SDL 8110-B delivers 10W at 808nm wavelength, while the SDL 81-S97D8 provides 1W output at 1310nm. Both variants function as diode laser sources suitable for integration into larger optical systems requiring high-reliability semiconductor laser excitation.
