Spectra-Physics Introduces 2.5 W, Multimode Telecommunications Pump Lasers
Mountain View, CA. Spectra-Physics has introduced a new series of multimode, semiconductor pump lasers that deliver up to 2.5 W of power, twice the amount previously available. These products are available at 915 nm, for pumping Raman fiber lasers, and at 975 nm, for co-doped EDFA pumping.
This new series of lasers is offered in a wide variety of standard and custom configurations, to simplify their integration. Standard packages include chips on sub-mount and lensed chips on sub-mount, as well as hermetically sealed, fiber coupled, industry standard, 14-pin butterfly packages. Fiber coupled versions utilize a 105 µm core, 0.15 NA fiber, and deliver 2 W of output; both thermoelectrically cooled and uncooled versions are available. Custom packages can be readily optimized to meet the needs of specific applications.
These high power, Telcordia quality pump lasers are available from stock, and can be scheduled for volume delivery.
Founded in 1961, Spectra-Physics (NASDAQ:SPLI) is a global leader in the design, development, manufacture and distribution of semiconductor-basedlasers and laser optics for a variety of end-markets. The company offers a diverse line of laser products backed by a sales, service and support organization located in more than 35 countries.
