JDSU introduced its new 4900 Series pump laser offering twice the power of existing components. The pump laser increases an optical amplifier's signal power so that it can split a signal to travel over multiple fibers and reach the maximum number of homes, helping to decrease signal generation costs for network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) and service providers.
Some product highlights:
- Doubles laser pump power from 4 watts (W) to 8 W, allowing NEMs and service providers to replace two pump lasers with a single pump laser within optical amplifiers for FTTH deployments.
- Designed to improve pump laser efficiency by 20 percent, reducing power and cooling requirements.
- 70 percent smaller in size than the previous pump laser platform, freeing up valuable data center real estate for customers.
- Based on JDSU's telecom-grade L4 diode laser platform that was released in December 2007.
