PR Newswire (US)
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bookham, Inc.
(NASDAQ: BKHM), a provider of high power optical components, has
expanded its portfolio of 808nm single emitter products with the
launch of a module that delivers a minimum of 6W from a 200um core
fibre at industry leading reliability. The new module is designed
to provide the power and reliability required for all solid-state
and direct diode laser systems, particularly Nd:YAG pumping and
medical, analytical and printing applications. The new product is
built on the proven Bookham platform for single emitter fiber laser
pump modules, enabling high volume, cost-effective manufacturing.
Devices are available as a chip-on-submount or chip-on-C-Mount. The
808nm single emitter chip can also be integrated into the
multi-emitter package to achieve further increased power output
levels. The RoHS compliant module is hermetically sealed and
incorporates a floating anode and cathode. It includes a multimode
laser diode chip with E2 front mirror passivation to prevent
Catastrophic Optical Damage (COD) to the laser diode facet even at
very high power levels. The coupling process allows for high output
powers that are very stable with both time and temperature. "The
continued progression in power output and reliability of our 808nm
single emitter portfolio increases the number of markets that we
can target, without needing to introduce new manufacturing
processes," said Gunnar Stolze, Director High Power Laser Marketing
and Sales at Bookham. "As photonic technologies continue to grow in
importance across a wide range of applications and industries, we
are positioning ourselves to meet the varied demands of many
customers while ensuring that we are competing on cost." For a high
