Semiconductor lasers are sensitive to transient voltage or current pulses. A transient of relatively large amplitude can damage a semiconductor laser. Protection from these transients …
The chip attach process is fundamental to laser-diode device performance. Key parameters for assembly and higher yields can result from exact measurements and carefully cinstructed …
High speed and low degree of polarization (DOP) are frequently considered critical specifications when choosing a polarization scrambler. High-speed scramblers allow faster measurement …
High quality power meters provide measurement assurance through a two-step system: calibration of the photodetector and the electronic gain of the stages.
Over 99% of all lasers manufactured in the world today are semiconductor laser diodes. Reliability is a concern in every laser diode application whether it is a simple $10 laser pointer …
Splice loss testing requires the measurement of the optical power output from a freshly cleaved fiber prior to fusion splicing. This testing is performed during the manufacture of numerous …
The need to drive progressively higher-power diode-pumped solid-state lasers, laser-diode bars, and laser-diode stacks has driven system developers to seek quality laser-diode power …
L/I/V testing is universally regarded as the basic testing methodology for laser diodes, since many significant optoelectronic parameters can be measured or derived from the test r …
Today’s optoelectronic component manufacturers face significant pressures to reduce price, shorten time to market, and respond quickly to specialized customer requirements. As product …
The commercial success of a laser supplier rests largely on its ability to develop a robust manufacturing process that consistently produces reliable devices.
The PRS-9330 is a high density photodiode burn-in and life-test system capable of testing a maximum of 1408 devices simultaneously.
For over thirty years, ILX Lightwave has been a pioneer in laser diode instrumentation and test systems, starting with the industry’s first precision laser diode current source in 1986. …
