Alfalight Enhances Output Power of 976nm Fiber-Coupled Diode Lasers by 33%; Alfalight's New Products to Be Showcased at CLEO 2005.BALTIMORE Baltimore, city (1990 pop. 736,014), N central Md., surrounded by but politically independent of Baltimore co., on the Patapsco River estuary, an arm of Chesapeake Bay; inc. 1745. -- Alfalight, Inc., an innovative manufacturer of highly efficient and reliable diode lasers See laser diode. , today announced that it has increased the output power of its cooled and uncooled 976nm fiber-coupled diode laser products. The improved output power of these lasers over previous generations is a result of design and manufacturing improvements in both diode and packaging efficiency. "The output power increase of 33% over previous generations further improves their flexibility and cost-effectiveness for pumping fiber lasers, DPSS DPSS Diode-Pumped Solid-State (laser) DPSS Department of Public Social Services DPSS Distributed-Parallel Storage System DPSS Datapath Synthesis System DPSS Data Processing Subsystem DPSS Digital Precision Strike Suite lasers and cladding-pumped telecommunications Communicating information, including data, text, pictures, voice and video over long distance. See communications. amplifiers," said Ron Bechtold, vice president of Sales and Marketing at Alfalight. "This increase in output power comes with the same Telcordia-level of reliability as our previous generation of high-power products, making them ideal for both cooled and uncooled applications in industrial environments." 976nm Diode Laser Product Details The Alfalight AM4-976-10-203 is a thermoelectrically cooled (TEC) 14-pin package, and provides 2 watts of output with 25-year MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) The average time a component works without failure. It is the number of failures divided by the hours under observation. MTBF - Mean Time Between Failures proven to Telcordia standards. The Alfalight AM6-976-10-403 is an uncooled 6-pin package and provides 4 watts of output with a less than 1000 FIT rate. Both devices are fully hermetic hermetic /her·met·ic/ (her-met´ik) impervious to air. her·met·ic or her·met·i·cal adj. Completely sealed, especially against the escape or entry of air. , operate over a wide operating temperature range, and represent a significant increase in output power from the previous generation (1.5 and 3 watts, respectively). Alfalight is currently showcasing both of these new products as well as its entire line of high-power diode lasers and modules in booth #1923 at the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) 2005 show this week in Baltimore, Maryland "Baltimore" redirects here.
