3S to launch high-efficiency and high-power 980nm pump lasers

At next week’s Optical Fiber Communication Conference and National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference (OFC/NFOEC 2009) in San Diego, CA, USA (24-26 March), 3S Photonics of Nozay, France, which manufactures laser chips, optical discrete modules and components for telecom networks, will unveil its new series of ‘High Efficiency 1999 HEP’ 980nm pump laser modules.

The new modules are claimed to be the most powerful of their kind for telecom applications in erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) environments with stringent power requirements. The 1999 HEP delivers ex-fiber output power of up to 500mW with what is claimed to be unparalleled reliability.

At OFC 2009, 3S will also launch its 2000 CHP Series cooled high-power 980nm pump module. This is also claimed to be the most powerful of its kind for telecom applications, delivering ex-fiber output power of up to 820mW with a very high level of reliability and stable performance.

3S claims that the 2000 CHP enables a significant step forward in the design and operation of EDFAs by offering higher output power, reduced component count, lower cost and power dissipation, while allowing extended operating ranges and an improved noise figure performance.
