OptilockTM VR Series 14xxnm Fiber Bragg Grating Stabilized Raman Pump Laser Corning Lasertron * For Raman amplified DWDM systems * Fiber Bragg Grating stabilized * Up to 250mW output power * High chip efficiency Description The OptilockTM VR 14xxnm Fiber Bragg Grating stabilized Raman pump laser is used in long wavelength, high power applications. Patented chip materials enable the OptilockTM VR to offer excellent power stability and high chip efficiency, as well as state-of-the-art thermal impedance. The superior Gibraltar II package, which operates up to 75 degrees C, offers increased reliability and improved thermal performance. Wavelengths from 1400 to 1520 can be specified. Applications * Superior thermal performance * Wavelength range from 1400nm to 1520nm The OptilockTM VR is designed to operate in Raman amplified DWDM systems, enabling extended system reach and span length, as well as faster bit rates. The relatively shorter wavelength Raman power transfers energy to the longer wavelength optical signal. Multiple pumps may be used to flatten and/or broaden gain. Superb power and wavelength locking capability serve to ensure the long-term reliability of Raman amplifiers.
