May 14, 2009 -- Modulight (search Lightwave for Modulight) has expanded its laser diode products by releasing a 14-pin butterfly series. This series covers a range of standard wavelengths, but supports all custom laser wavelengths offered by Modulight (from 630 nm to 1650 nm).
The butterfly products are based on Modulight's single-emitter laser diodes, from which the laser emission is coupled to a single output fiber with a very high efficiency.
The butterfly modules can include most of the Modulight's high-power multimode single emitter products to offer broad wavelength and power level coverage. Currently, the following wavelengths and power levels are offered as standard products:
- 635 nm 350 mW, product code ML1862
- 680 nm 750 mW, product code ML1523
- 808 nm 2000 mW, product code ML1859
- 940 nm 3000 mW, product code ML1864
- 1350 nm 700 mW, product code ML1855
- 1550 nm 700 mW, product code ML1856
The butterfly laser module is offered as a thermoelectrically cooled version with an integrated photodiode and a thermistor. The standard multimode output fibers have core diameter of 105 µm and 200 µm with 0.22 NA, and they can be provided with customer-specific connector types (standard connector type is FC/ST/SMA-905).
Modulight offers integration service for the butterfly modules up to the system level, including driver electronics, PCB, and mechanical design to accommodate any OEM application.
