Pump Lasers

II-VI’s high-power pumps are designed for high noise and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) EDFAs and CATV applications.

II-VI offers a variety of dual chip pump lasers addressing all areas of low noise all-optical amplification and power consumption requirements. Increasingly, network providers are concerned with component density and power consumption which translates into cost of installation and cost of ownership of a network. To address this, II-VI offers a suite of 980nm pump lasers from uncooled, semi-cooled and traditional-cooled pumps over a set of market leading power ranges.

II-VI offers a variety of single-chip pump lasers addressing all areas of low noise all-optical amplification and power consumption requirements. Increasingly, network providers are concerned with component density and power consumption which translates into cost of installation and cost of ownership of a network. To address this, II-VI offers a suite of 980nm pump lasers from uncooled, semi-cooled and traditional-cooled pumps over a set of market leading power ranges.

II-VI’s 980nm submarine pump laser module are designed and manufactured in Zurich, Switzerland, leveraging a high reliability legacy that spans more than 20 years. The 980nm pump lasers are built on II-VI’s field-proven OC-2 packaging platform and houses II-VI’s market-proven G08 lasers to ensure superior wavelength locking performance, reliability and stability.

MLU96Z-series is an uncooled 980nm pump laser module in a compact 3-pin micro-format package. Designed to meet stringent reliability and power-efficiency requirements, applications include ultra-compact amplifiers for current and next generation high bit-rate transceivers. MLU96Z-series measures only 141 cubic millimeters in volume and is available with 80µm polarization maintaining fibre supporting 5mm bend radius, or 125µm single-mode fibre supporting 7.5mm bend radius. The MLU96Z-series consumes less than 0.5 Watt of power under typical use conditions at up to 85°C. Extended temperature range options support operation at -40°C. The MLU96Z-series is built on II-VI’s field proven OC-2 fiber alignment platform and relies on II-VI’s market-proven G08 laser chip platform to ensure superior wavelength locking performance, reliability and stability.

The LU96Z-series uncooled pump laser module in an 8-pin mini-DIL package is II-VI’s third-generation uncooled pump module providing low power consumption for highly reliable metro, cross-connect, SFF single and multi-channel amplifier designs plus high bit-rate, per-channel amplification. The LU96Z-series is designed for uncooled operation at high temperature and power levels. Qualification of the enhanced G08 chip ensures high reliability even at high operating power, 75°C. External Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) stabilization provides excellent wavelength and power stability over the entire operating temperature range.
