EMCORE Introduces Model 1995 High-Power TOSA DFB Laser for LiDAR and Autonomous Vehicles at OFC
March 01 2022 - 9:00AM
EMCORE Corporation (Nasdaq: EMKR), a leading provider of advanced
mixed-signal products that serve the aerospace & defense,
communications, and sensing markets, announced today its new Model
1995 1550 nm High-Power Continuous Wavelength (CW) Source
Distributed Feedback (DFB) Laser for LiDAR and autonomous vehicle
applications.
The model 1995 laser is designed in a cooled TOSA (Transmission
Optical Sub Assembly) form-factor in a hermetic TO56 package with
6+1 pins and is characterized for use as a Continuous Wavelength
(CW) coherent optical source laser for LiDAR technology. The 1995
laser incorporates a high-isolation and high-efficiency coupling
scheme to deliver 15 dBm of CW optical power with excellent
spectral coherence. It expands EMCORE’s product offering for LiDAR
which also includes the Model 1790 1550 nm High Power CW Source
Laser for LiDAR in EMCORE’s classic 14-pin butterfly package.
EMCORE’s design for the 1995 laser provides a compact, robust
solution for Frequency Modulation Continuous Wavelength (FMCW)
sensing that is essential for autonomous vehicles and a wide
variety of other optical sensing applications. A key advantage of
EMCORE’s LiDAR laser technology for autonomous driving is its
narrow linewidth achieved with a monolithic design that is highly
immune to mode or optical frequency hopping typically found with
external cavity designs. Mode or optical frequency hopping causes
false readings in FMCW LiDAR, whereas EMCORE’s laser technology
maintains optical frequency stability over temperature suppressing
false readings.
“Our continuing research and development efforts in optical
sensing and LiDAR is opening doors into new application spaces and
business opportunities for EMCORE,” said Gyo Shinozaki, Vice
President and General Manager of Broadband for EMCORE. “In addition
to the models 1995 and 1790, EMCORE offers custom chip level
development and component packaging options to enable customers to
tailor our LiDAR technology to their specific requirements,” added
Mr. Shinozaki.
EMCORE will be presenting its solutions for optical sensing and
LiDAR, high-speed telecommunications, and data center at the
Optical Fiber Conference (OFC), March 8-10 at the San Diego
Convention Center, booth #5203.
