EM4 Exhibits High Power, High-Speed Components for Critical Defense Applications.BOSTON -- EM4, Inc., a market and technology leader in optoelectronic components and manufacturing services, will showcase a series of high power pump lasers, high speed photodiode receivers and directly modulated lasers for the defense and homeland security industries during the Military Technologies Conference at the Hynes Convention Center The John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center located in Boston's Back Bay has 193,000 square feet (0 m) of exhibit space and can accommodate up to four concurrent events. in Boston March 14-15th. These active optical devices are designed to provide the high power, reliability and durability required for a broad range of defense applications including satellite communication, range finders, illuminators, target designators, missiles, aircraft, and smart munitions mu·ni·tion n.

Their design incorporates EM4's high coupling efficiency of optical transmission. "We've utilized our core competency in sub-micron assembly technology to develop components that meet an essential capability in critical defense applications," said Basil Garabet, chief executive officer of EM4, Inc. "The use of EM4's proprietary assembly tools assure defense suppliers that they are deploying the most reliable and economically-viable optoelectronic devices in their systems and networks." High Power Multimode and Singlemode Pump Lasers EM4's advanced High Power Laser (HPL HPL - Language used in HP9825A/S/T "Desktop Calculators", 1978(?) and ported to the early Series 200 family (9826 and 9836, 68000). Fairly simple and standard, but with extensive I/O support for data acquisition and control (BCD, Serial, 16 bit custom and IEEE 488 interfaces), ) line of multimode pump lasers all are designed to deliver high power and reliability. The HPL series offers four epoxy-free hermetic package types, 3 pin (TO258), 8 pin and 14 pin cooled and uncooled options, built to defense industry standards to meet all application needs. The HPL Series single-emitter fiber-coupled laser diodes offer up to 7 W power into a 105 micron fiber with either a 0.15 or 0.22NA in an operating temperature range of -5 to 70 degrees C. The >12W laser, available in Q2 06, retains the dimensions and features of the highly successful ultra high reliability and power HPL family into a 200 micron fiber. The company's singlemode 980 pump lasers feature industry-record high power with 600mW of output power. The 980nm laser modules are qualified according to the Telcordia GR-486-CORE standard, the industry's most stringent reliability test. High Speed Receivers The EM4 high speed detector (HSD HSD Human Services Department HSD High Speed Data HSD Hillsboro School District (Hillsboro, OR) HSD Hybrid Synergy Drive (Toyota/Lexus) HSD High School Diploma HSD Historical Society of Delaware ) modules are expressly designed for the demanding environments of defense, avionic and aerospace applications. The 2-pin package is a hermetically sealed module containing an InGaAs PIN high speed photodiode with a flat frequency response to 20 GHz with a SMA (1) See SMA connector.
