Quantum Photonics Introduces High Power Fabry-Perot Laser Diode.Business Editors/Hi-Tech Writers Optical Fiber Communications 2002 JESSUP, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 19, 2002 Quantum Photonics, Inc. (QPI QPI Quality Performance Indicators QPI Quality Program Instruction ), a developer and producer of low cost, high performance optoelectronic components, modules and sub-systems for the telecom and datacom markets, announced today it has begun sampling its high power Fabry-Perot (FP) laser diode A semiconductor-based laser used to generate analog signals or digital pulses for transmission through optical fibers. Both laser diodes and LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are used for this purpose, but the laser diode generates a smaller beam that is easier to couple with the smaller core , which is based on a high-power InP ridge waveguide waveguide, device that controls the propagation of an electromagnetic wave so that the wave is forced to follow a path defined by the physical structure of the guide. laser structure. "We are very excited about the suitability of QPI's FP Laser Diode as a high power optical source for optical wireless applications," said Ed Miskovic, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at QPI. "Among the product's many unique features are a ridge waveguide laser design combined with an integrated mode transformer transformer, electrical device used to transfer an alternating current or voltage from one electric circuit to another by means of electromagnetic induction. , which provide nearly circular output beam characteristics." QPI's FP Laser Diode features MQW MQW Multiple Quantum Well chip design optimized for C and L-band laser wavelengths. Product features include high output power of 160 mW in the eye-safe 1550 nm wavelength range achieved through advanced epitaxial wafer growth techniques and die bonding processes. An optional mode transformer provides nearly circular output beam characteristics. "In order to meet the price-performance requirements of the telecom market, we have developed proprietary integration technology that uses fewer processing steps for more robust, efficient coupling between active and passive optical elements," says Chief Technology Officer Mario Dagenais, Ph.D. Applications for the FP Laser Diode include an optical source for free space optical wireless systems and laser transmitter for eye-safe remote sensing applications A remote sensing application is a software application that processes remote sensing data. Remote sensing applications are similar to graphics software, but they enable generating geographic information from satellite and airborne sensor data. . It can also be used as a gain element for external cavity tunable lasers A laser that can change its frequency over a given range. In time, tunable lasers are expected to be capable of switching frequencies on a packet by packet basis. . Various packaging options are available, including C-mount, CT-mount, TO-can, chip-on-submount (CoS), and bare die See bare chip. . Manufacturing of the FP Laser Diode is completed in the Company's 40,000 square foot vertically integrated facility located in Jessup, MD. Near-term product milestones include pre-production in May 2002 and full Telcordia production during 4Q'02. About Quantum Photonics, Inc.
