Lumentum Introduces Industry-First Uncooled Distributed Feedback 980 nm Pump Laser
November 17 2016 - 8:30AM
Lumentum Holdings Inc. (“Lumentum”) introduced today the T13 Series
of 980 nm pump laser modules which are based on an industry-first
uncooled distributed feedback (DFB) 980 nm pump laser chip. The T13
family of products combine a high-power DFB diode laser with
additional components into an ultra-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.”
Pump Lasers
Lumentum offers a full portfolio of pump lasers for
optical amplification which is a key element of virtually all fiber
optic communications networks. The 980 nm Series products support
erbium-doped fiber amplifiers operating from 100 mW to 900 mW power
levels. The 14xx nm and 15xx nm Series products, deployed in Raman
amplification, offer operating powers up to 600 mW in wavelengths
covering the C band and L band. The new uncooled T13 Series
pumps are derived from a revolutionary 980 nm pump platform and
significantly reduce power consumption and enable operation in
extreme physical environments.
