Lumentum Introduces first Uncooled 980nm DFB pump laser

Lower power and smaller size pump module uses innovative laser chip design

The optical and photonic company Lumentum  has introduced a new series of 980 nm pump laser modules which are based on an industry-first uncooled distributed feedback (DFB) 980nm pump laser chip.

The family of products, called T13, combines a high-power DFB diode laser with additional components into a small form factor, coaxial package. Sample quantities are available now, with volume production in December 2016.

"The T13 Series leverages the same TO-package demonstrated in numerous high-volume consumer applications and establishes the DFB's future role in compact, reliable 980 nm pump lasers for optical amplification applications," remarked Jay Skidmore, vice president, research and development, High Power Lasers.

"The DFB laser eliminates the external grating needed for conventional pump laser designs that opens a path towards much higher levels of integration. Additional benefits include fiber length reduction, a decrease in the device's footprint, plus lower power requirements."

The Lumentum T13 Series, operating up to 200 mW, meets the telecommunications industry's stringent requirements, including Telcordia GR-468-CORE for hermetic 980 nm pump modules. The pump modules target single-channel and narrow-band amplifier applications for high-bit-rate transmission modules and CFPx transceivers.

"Introduction of the T13 Series pump is another example of Lumentum developing superior high-power laser technologies across our broad product portfolio to deliver best-in-class solutions for our customers," said Doug Alteen, vice president, product line management, Telecom. "The small pump laser package leverages the design and manufacturing of our high-volume 3D sensing lasers, which have proven to be highly reliable with tens of millions of devices deployed."
