980 nm Pump
Laser Module, Un-cooled
Bookham Technology's UC9**A 980 nm Pump Laser Module
is a break-through product enabling low-cost, highly reliable
amplification for metro, cross-connect or other single/multi-
channel amplification applications. The Mini-DIL packaging
provides low-cost and small form-factor, and the submarine-
qualified G06 laser diode enables high reliability even at
100 mW, 70C and beyond. The G06's ridge-waveguide
technology gives it a low thermal dependence and a great
advantage in un-cooled operation. External FBG stabilisation
provides excellent wavelength stability and power stability
over the entire temperature operating range.

*
Laser failure rate is a function of temperature and laser current. Operation within the absolute ratings ensures predictable failure
behaviour. Operation outside may cause irreversible or latent chip damage.
