Pump Lasers Outfit 980 nm EDFA Systems

Designed for 980 nm erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) systems deployed in metro optical networks, the company's 100 mW and 200 mW pump lasers are offered as an alternative to current devices based on edge-emitting technology. These lasers are said to employ special features, based on the NECSEL platform, that reduce both design complexities and manufacturing costs. For example, they do not require fiber Bragg gratings and microlenses, thereby reducing component count and size. For further information, call. NOVALUX INC., Sunnyvale, CA. (408) 730-3955.
