Oak Industries Inc. Announces Introduction of 980nm Bragg Grating Stabilized Pump Lasers

Strategic Insights -

Lasertron, Inc., a division of Oak Industries Inc., has recently introduced a family of 980nm Bragg grating stabilized ("BGS") pump lasers. These new BGS pump lasers are designed for use in dense wavelength division multiplexing ("DWDM") fiber-optic transmission systems, which enable communication capacity to be significantly increased by allowing multiple channels to share a single fiber. The BGS pump lasers are highly stable, providing a fixed wavelength with high precision, and are suitable for a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, CATV, data communications, and more.

Key Takeaways:

  • The new family of BGS pump lasers from Lasertron offers outstanding power and wavelength stability over a wide range of operating power and temperature.
  • The lasers provide the highest power efficiency in the industry, making them an attractive solution for high-channel count applications.
  • The BGS pump lasers have been designed with reliability in mind, leveraging Lasertron's extensive experience with 980nm lasers, with over 35,000 devices in the field and over 400 million cumulative operating hours.
  • Lasertron is a leading manufacturer of DWDM active fiber-optic components for long-distance and metropolitan wired telephony networks.
  • The company's pump lasers are deployed in major long-distance networks and rings connecting headends in CATV systems.
  • The BGS pump lasers are suitable for various applications, including telecommunications, CATV, data communications, and more.

Statistics:

  • The BGS pump lasers have an optical power output of up to 190mW at wavelengths from 973 to 986nm.
  • The lasers offer high precision, with output locked to a known fixed wavelength.
  • Lasertron has over 35,000 980nm lasers in the field, with over 400 million cumulative operating hours.
