976nm Single Mode Fiber Laser Pumps • Product Suite • 2700 Series (up to 300mW) • 2900 Series (up to 500mW) • 3000 Series (NEW! Up to 660mW) • Features • Telcordia Qualified • Spatial Single Mode • Wavelength Stabilized with FBG • Polarization Maintained Fiber Option (Standard on 3000 Series) • Application • Fiber Laser Pumping
8.5W 6397-L3 9XXnm Current Generation • Features: • 8.5W operating power at 25°C • 105µm/0.22 NA pigtail • >200,000hrs MTBF • Robust to power cycling (0.5 Hz) • Telcordia-class diode and package
6397-L3 9XXnm L-I Curve vs Temperature Typical L-I characteristics of a JDSU-6397 laser diodes at different temperatures
Maximum Power From 6397 Chip at 9xx nm • 6397 achieves >20.0W maximum CW power Reliable power is limited by waste heat
Current 6397-L3 Brightness • 6397-L3 105μm 0.22 NA pigtail core is under-filled • Well above 90% of power is within 0.15 NA • JDSU is committing R&D to delivering the brightest fiber-coupled single-emitter lasers
Best-in-class Reliability and Quality • L3 platform shipping since Sept. 2003 • JDSU has 13 year track record supplying high power, multimode 9xx nm pump diode lasers: >100,000 shipped • 4800-L3 Series qualifies for Telcordia – March ‘05 • L3 package satisfies rigorous telecom reliability standard • Over 30,000 639x-L3 diode lasers shipped • Assembled in JDSU Shenzhen since Feb 2004 • Over 30 million deployment hours • 3500–4000 dppm out-of-the box and assembly failure return rate • dppm for all returns, including “no problem found”
Which data would you prefer to see your supplier present? 100um stripe, 808nm 20 units, 7500 hours Tested to nominal deployment conditions ? 100um stripe, 915/940nm 20 units, 5000 hours Tested to nearly 2x Iop, 145°C junction temperature Elapsed time (hrs) Elapsed time (hrs) • JDSU is proud to offer both devices to the market… • …but all recently released and future products are tested to failure • Weaknesses of “rose-colored glasses reliability” • No data on robustness (what happens at 1.2x Pop? What happens in Year Two of deployment?) • How does reliability scale with temperature, power, current (i.e. real use conditions)?
6390 Diode Laser Multi-cell Test Results Cells 1/3/5 and 4/6 vary I at constant Tj Failure rates increase with current/power Cells 2/3/4 and 5/6 vary Tj at constant I Failure rates correlate with power, not temperature
Multi-cell testing yields a “user’s manual” 6390 Median time-to-failures for different operating conditions
6397 Multi-cell Life Test • 6397, 9xxnm 10W chip (100um aperture) • 95 lasers from 11 wafers, 7 growth runs • Diodes are distributed among 5 cells with different very accelerated conditions • Major acceleration factors – junction temperature Tj and optical power
Failure rate model for 6397 chip at 9xx nm MTBF vs. output power for different heatsink temperatures 6397 MTBF and cumulative failures for different operation conditions
