High Performance Fiber Coupled Laser Diode for Applications Like Lidar, Test, Measurement, Medical, Material Processing and Telecommunications

AMS Technologies introduces Princeton Lightwave’s high performance fiber coupled laser diode with an exceptional high power of 400mW @ 1550nm.

The laser diode features an ideal light source for EDFA applications to span distances beyond 360km at a wavelength of 1550nm. It is packaged in a hermetically sealed 14 Pin-Butterfly-casing with a closed loop photodiode for power monitoring. To facilitate cooling and ensure repeatable output power adjustments, the laser chip has been peltier-cooled and mounted on a copper block heat sink including a thermistor being incorporated for temperature control. The most common used SMF-28 pigtail fiber is deployed and can optionally be swapped by a polarization maintaining fiber and/or Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) for wavelength precise stabilization.

The high performance laser diode can be employed in diverse applications, such as lidar, test & measurement, medical, material processing and telecommunications.

Princeton Lightwave is a leading innovator and manufacturer of long wavelength (1400–1850nm) high power laser diodes and laser diode arrays. The technology rest upon a Multi-Quantum-Well (MQW) InGaAsP based semiconductor material with distinguished emission characteristic and superb wavelength stability.
