PR Newswire (US)
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bookham, Inc.
(NASDAQ:BKHM), a manufacturer of optical components and modules for
the telecom industry, has announced the launch of the industry's
first ever cooled small form factor, Mini-DIL pump laser module.
The new pump module, capable of delivering over 600mW of power, is
the most powerful wavelength locked single mode Mini-DIL pump laser
available. The module delivers all the performance and
functionality of a 14-Pin Butterfly pump in a package that is 80
percent smaller while also boasting a 10 percent reduction in power
consumption. This breakthrough offering enables amplifier designers
to reduce the size of low noise EDFAs (Erbium Doped Fiber
Amplifier), DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing)
amplifiers, amplifier modules and CaTV amplifiers. The 600mW
Mini-DIL module will also be a key component for telecom equipment
vendors seeking to lower overall system energy consumption and
reduce running costs in the face of rising utility prices and
increased environmental pressures. "We are confident that this
breakthrough technology will further increase our technological and
commercial leadership in the pump laser market," said director of
product management, Mark Ives. "Similar pump modules that compete
with this product are in 14-Pin Butterfly packages that are five
times the size of this new high power module; that factor alone
makes this a very significant product, both for Bookham and for the
amplifier market. "This major size reduction allows telecom
equipment vendors to save real estate within amplifiers and
linecards, and to reduce the size and running costs of the
facilities that house them. The potential energy and cost savings
enabled by this development will be hugely disruptive." The module
has a wide operating temperature of -20 to +75 degrees, is
Telcordia and RoHS compliant, and utilises the same scalable and
proven base alignment technology as other Bookham telecom pump
lasers, including the 750mW Ultra high power single mode pump laser
module, and the OceanBright(TM) submarine pump laser module. The
600mW Mini-DIL pump laser module incorporates the Bookham G08 chip,
which has now achieved a combined total of over 300 million field
hours. The 600mW Mini-DIL pump module is available for customer
samples immediately, and will reach full qualification by the end
of Q1 2009. For a high resolution image of the 600mW pump laser
