Lumics Introduces TO220 Pump Laser For Fiber Laser
Lumics introduces this laser in a uncooled TO220 package coupled with a 100/125um multi mode fiber with a numerical aperture of 0.22. The fiber is terminated with a standard 2.5mm diameter ceramic ferrule. FC/PC or SMA connectors are optional
The new package design is used as a platform for the a new series of high power single emitter laser diodes at different pump wavelength with an excellent cost / performance ratio. Combined pump laser modules which use several single emitter allow an easy scalable output power.
The target applications include industrial Erbium Ytterbium fiber lasers and Erbium doped fiber amplifiers. The new generation of high power modules allows a cost effective laser system design with an enhanced performance.
The complete module assembly is based on fully automated active fiber alignment technology.
The production is ISO 9001 approved with several screening steps throughout the chip manufacturing and module assembly process.
The operating current is specified with typically 6.5A. The very low forward voltage is specified with max. 3.2V. The threshold current is typically 245mA. The performance of the device is based on Lumics propriety chip technology which ensure very high reliability with a breakthrough in laser facet passivation.
Products samples are available in February 2005.
Visit Lumics at the Photonics West in booth #6806 in San Jose, CA from Jan 25 - 27, 2005.
