MILPITAS, Calif.
and SAN DIEGO, Feb. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumentum
Holdings Inc. ("Lumentum") today announced a breakthrough series of
four advanced 980 nanometer (nm) single-mode pump lasers, adding to
its already extensive portfolio. This next-generation series
employs a revolutionary chip that inherits Lumentum's proprietary
high-reliability technology supplying significantly higher output
power and efficiency.
"The breakthrough 1100 mW output power, low power
consumption, and reduced form factor will enable customers to
deploy high power and high-density EDFAs into ROADM blades," said
Doug Alteen, senior vice president,
general manager, Telecom Transport. "Lumentum is supporting
customers to meet their ever-growing demand for capacity and
scalability driven by the C and C+L ROADM network evolution. This
achievement is the result of continuous development of foundational
Gallium Arsenide core chip technology. We concentrate on
high-reliability diode laser that serves diverse applications in
telecommunications, industrial lasers, and 3D sensing."
About the Products
The series of leading-edge single-mode pump lasers
includes S32, S29, M31, and M29 devices. The S29 and M29 modules
operate under semi-cooled conditions of 45°C and significantly
reduce strain on thermoelectric coolers (TECs), providing customers
with the lowest power consumption. The M31 module is a highly
efficient and low power consumption small-form-factor packaged pump
laser that generates 900 mW operating power. For applications
requiring the highest operating power of 1000 mW, customers can
select the S32 module cooled pump with low power consumption and
high efficiency.
These modules meet the rigorous telecommunications
industry requirements, including Telcordia GR-468-CORE for hermetic
980 nm pump modules. All four new pump laser series meet industry
standards and qualification and will start high-volume production
in March 2019.
"The maximum kink-free power of new pumps can reach 1100
mW with improved efficiency by >30% from prior the generation,"
said Victor Rossin, Lumentum
Distinguished Technical Staff. "It significantly reduces power
consumption of high power pump lasers in both 14-pin and 10-pin
butterfly packages."
