About Us
Bandwidth10 is bringing revolutionary wavelength tunable Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology to the market, delivering cost-effective tunable solutions that are out of reach with conventional technologies. The company’s swept-source VCSELs range in wavelength from 720 nm to 1700 nm for FBG sensing, 2D and 3D imaging, Biosensing, Gas sensing, LIDAR, Industrial and medical OCT, and many other applications. With a leading edge tunable VCSEL design, optoelectronic packaging and control electronics teams, the company offers complete solutions with the laser ranging from TO, TOSA and pigtailed-TO packages to control electronics.
Bandwidth10 was founded in February 2011 by a team out of the University of California, Berkeley and industry veterans and has been shipping products since 2014.
Bandwidth10 provides cost-effective, tunable optical devices featuring small sizes, low power consumption, and built-in wavelength stabilization.

Technology
Bandwidth10’s innovative High Contrast Grating (HCG) VCSEL technology was developed by the company’s founders while at the University of California, Berkeley. The High Contrast Grating is a new concept for the top mirror in a VCSEL. The HCG (see right) is a single layer, nanometer-scale grating made of a high index material with a sub-wavelength period, which exhibits a much broader reflection band than a conventional DBR.
Using the HCG as a tunable mirror, as shown below, allows for a wafer-scale, low-cost fabrication process for Bandwidth10’s long-wavelength single mode 1550 nm and 1060 nm swept source VCSELs.
