SAN JOSE, Calif., March 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumentum
Holdings Inc. ("Lumentum") today announced a breakthrough series of
advanced 980 nanometer (nm) single-mode pump lasers, adding to its
already broad family of pump lasers for optical amplification.
The new 980 nm pump lasers offer significantly higher power and
higher efficiency, enabling high-density erbium-doped fiber
amplifier (EDFA) designs. The pump lasers employ revolutionary
chips that are based on Lumentum's field-proven, proprietary,
high-reliability technology, but offer operating power levels from
250 mW to 1600 mW.
"Lumentum is supporting the industry's need for ultra-high
reliability, high-power, and scalable pump lasers for pluggable
EDFAs," said Doug Alteen, Senior
Vice President, General Manager, Telecom Transport. "Our customers
benefit from our commitment to innovate and develop our
foundational chip technology."
About the Products
Representing the next leap in performance, while leveraging
Lumentum's field-proven pump technology, the 5200 Series is
specifically designed for demanding undersea optical applications
that require ultra-high reliability when pumping EDFAs in submarine
repeaters and branching units.
"The new 5200 Series addresses the critical need to maintain
extreme high-reliability while providing higher power pumping,"
said Xia Hong, Senior Director,
Product Line Management, Optical Communications. "Lumentum
addresses these market needs with a design lifetime of over
twenty-five years."
The new uncooled laser offers increased operating power up to
800 mW. Additionally, by employing new and innovative advancements
in chip technology and high-reliability packaging, the 5200 Series
improves customers' overall optical performance. The 5200 Series
will be available in July 2020.
The H11 Series, an uncooled 3-pin low-profile planar pump laser
with up to 250 mW output power, significantly reduces the overall
pump laser size and power consumption. This laser series employs
both an innovative distributed feedback (DFB) laser chip, which
integrates a high-power laser and grating into a single
high-reliability laser die, and an improved package design. The H11
Series provides a noise-free, narrowband spectrum under
temperature, drive current, and optical feedback changes. The H11
Series will be available in May
2020.
The new D2 Series dual-chip 980 nm pump laser provides up to 1.6
W total optical output in a low-profile 14-pin butterfly package.
The D2 Series also incorporates an innovative next-generation chip
and semi-autonomous assembly technology, which significantly
improves power and density. The D2 Series will be available in
July 2020.
These products meet the rigorous telecommunications industry
requirements, including Telcordia GR-468-CORE for hermetic 980 nm
pump modules. For more information, please contact the Lumentum
