CVD High Power Laser Fiber Packaging

CVD High Power Laser Fiber Packaging

As seen on Opli.com January 2014.


OSI Laser Diode Inc introduces new packaging options for the CVD High Power Laser line. The innovative and compact package features coaxial cable construction which permits a fiber option for lasers in a much smaller footprint than the standard TO5F housing. LDI’s new fiber coaxial packaging is available for 850nm, 905nm, and 1550nm single-chip and sacked devices.

OSI Laser Diodes new high power fiber laser product packaging is designed for stability and high bandwidth capability. The product is ideal for use in optical sensors, cloud measurement, range finding, and industrial applications.

1550nm High Power Pulsed Laser Diode - SCW 1532-500R

1550nm High Power Pulsed Laser Diode - SCW 1532-500R

As seen in Photonics Online October 2013.


OSI Laser Diode Inc introduces the SCW 1532-500R high power, pulsed laser diode module that features power higher than 500 mW and operates at 1550nm. It is ideal for use in optical spectrum analyzers (OSAs) and optical time domain reflectometers (OTDRs). The 14-pin butterfly package with an industry standard pin-out offers excellent pulse drift performance and high stability. The 1550 nm high power laser diode module is the first in a series of three devices. Two more modules with 1310 nm and 1625 nm wavelengths, respectively, are in development and will be released soon.

The laser diode is optically coupled to an SMF fiber pigtail and includes a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and an electrically isolated temperature sensing thermistor. Other features of the 1550 nm pulsed diode module include optical power at 500 mW, a threshold current of 70 mA, and a typical forward voltage of 2V to a max of 3V. For added convenience, standard connectors are optional, making the new device easy to integrate into an existing or a new optical test and measurement system where high peak pulsed optical power is required.

OSI Laser Diode’s new device offers operating temperature ranges from 0 to 65 degrees C and storage temperature (non-operational) rangers from -40 degrees C to 875 degrees C.
