1. 795nm Single-mode VCSEL Bare Die for Rb Atomic Clock
The 795nm Single-mode VCSEL Bare Die is designed for rubidium D1-line optical pumping in Rb vapor-cell atomic clock and CPT rubidium atomic clock systems.
This product is supplied as a bare die for chip-level integration, compact vapor-cell optical modules and atomic-clock optical-source development. It is intended for engineering teams that require a low-current, single-mode 795nm VCSEL source for Rb atomic clock evaluation, precision timing systems and frequency-reference module development.
The device provides a typical 795nm peak wavelength, low-current CW operation, narrow spectral linewidth, defined polarization performance and FM modulation bandwidth support for CPT rubidium atomic clock applications.
2. Single-mode Optical Characteristics and Rubidium Vapor-Cell Application
The 795nm wavelength corresponds to rubidium D1-line optical-source development. In an Rb vapor-cell atomic clock system, the VCSEL operating wavelength, temperature setpoint, drive current, modulation condition, polarization state and vapor-cell behavior should be validated together at the system level.

3. Package Options for Atomic Clock Development
Bare Die Supply for Chip-Level Integration
The standard supply form for this product page is bare die. Bare die supply is suitable for customers who need chip-level integration, compact module design, direct optical alignment or custom thermal packaging for vapor-cell atomic clock development.
Bare die integration should be handled in an ESD-controlled process. Customers should verify die bonding, wire bonding, thermal path, optical alignment, current control and temperature-control stability in the final system.
Optional TO-can Package Configuration
For projects that require a packaged optical source, optional TO-can package configuration can be discussed as a project-specific configuration.
Optional project configurations may include TO-can packaging, integrated TEC / Peltier, NTC or PT1000 temperature sensing, vacuum-sealed or dry-nitrogen-filled package atmosphere, ceramic submount, collimating lens and application-specific thermal integration.
These options are not the default supply form of this page. Package structure, pin definition, optical geometry, temperature sensor, sealing method and preparation time should be confirmed separately according to the order-specific requirement.
TEC, NTC / PT1000 and Sealing Options
Temperature control is important for rubidium D1-line wavelength matching. For packaged project configurations, TEC / Peltier control and temperature-sensor selection may be reviewed according to the required wavelength setpoint and module structure.
NTC and PT1000 temperature-sensing options, vacuum-sealed packages and dry-nitrogen-filled packages may be discussed for project-specific integration. Final configuration should be confirmed before production.
4. Paid Evaluation Samples and Project Support
Paid evaluation samples are available for early-stage wavelength, linewidth, optical-power, modulation and vapor-cell system validation. The standard evaluation quantity is 5 pcs per set.
Evaluation support can help customers verify:
- 795nm wavelength matching
- Rubidium D1-line optical-source behavior
- Optical output power
- Linewidth and single-mode performance
- FM modulation behavior
- Temperature-control requirements
- Bare die integration or package-configuration direction
- Vapor-cell atomic-clock system compatibility
For project-specific wavelength binning, package configuration, TEC integration, temperature sensing or vapor-cell module adaptation, submit the application information and target operating conditions for engineering review.
