NP Photonics (Tucson,
AZ), a manufacturer of miniaturized optical-fiber-based components,
announces the first in its forthcoming portfolio of fiber laser products.
Based on the company’s Erbium Micro Fiber (EMF) technology, the
SMPF-2030 is a fixed wavelength fiber laser module that features narrow
linewidth, high output power and a compact package. With a linewidth of less
than 10 kHz, mode-hopping free, and a side mode suppression ratio of greater
than 50 dB, this new fiber laser module is ideal for integration into a
wide variety of instruments where extreme sensitivity and high resolution
are vital. These include atmospheric and remote sensing, spectroscopy,
LIDAR and a range of other test and measurement applications. Also useful as a
transmitter for undersea optical telecommunications, the SMPF-2030
features an industry-leading specification for relative intensity noise at
less than -140 dB/Hz at 2 MHz. The Telcordia-compliant fiber laser module
is available at ITU 50 GHz for the entire C-band and offers a wavelength
accuracy of ± 500 MHz. In addition, the fiber laser module includes
embedded microprocessor control and a 1-meter-long PM fiber pigtail
connector with a jacket diameter of 250 µm or 900 µm. By incorporating its EMF
technology into the design, NP Photonics is able to create a fiber laser
module with 30 mW of output power in a small footprint. A Telcordia-qualified
single mode diode laser provides the high reliability pump power to drive
NP Photonics’ unique erbium-doped micro fiber in a single integrated
package measuring just 168 mm x 70 mm x 19 mm. “Typically, fixed
wavelength lasers require an external booster amplifier to achieve higher
output powers,” said Chuck Chandler, CEO of NP Photonics. “However, by
incorporating our unique gain fiber, we’ve been able to achieve a higher
output power without an amplifier, resulting in an integrated laser module
with a relatively high output power in a compact footprint. And our EMF
technology not only results in a smaller package, but it also allows us to
offer the laser module at a lower price than similar products currently on
the market.”
