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. ...
