FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Anaheim, California and Bedford, Massachusetts – March 6, 2006 - EM4, Inc., a market and technology leader in optoelectronic components and manufacturing services, today introduced a series of high power pump lasers, high speed photodiode receivers and directly modulated lasers for the defense and homeland security industries.
These active optical devices are designed to provide the high power, reliability and durability required for a broad range of defense applications including satellite communication, range finders, illuminators, target designators, missiles, aircraft, and smart munitions. Their design incorporates EM4’s high coupling efficiency of optical transmission.
"By utilizing our core competency in sub-micron assembly technology, we’ve developed components that meet an essential capability in critical defense applications," said Basil Garabet, chief executive officer of EM4, Inc. "Defense suppliers can be assured that they are deploying the most reliable and economically-viable optoelectronic devices in their systems and networks.
High Power Multimode and Singlemode Pump Lasers
EM4’s advanced High Power Laser (HPL) line of multimode pump lasers all are designed to deliver high power and reliability. The HPL series offers four epoxy-free hermetic package types, 3 pin (TO258), 8 pin and 14 pin cooled and uncooled options, built to defense industry standards to meet all application needs. The HPL Series single-emitter fiber-coupled laser diodes offer up to 7 W power into a 105µm fiber with either a 0.15 or 0.22NA in an operating temperature range of -5 to 70 °C. The >12W laser, available in Q2 06, retains the dimensions and features of the highly successful ultra high reliability and power HPL family into a 200 µm fiber .
The company’s singlemode 980 pump lasers feature industry-record high power with 600mW of output power. The 980nm laser modules are qualified according to the Telcordia GR-486-CORE standard, the industry’s most stringent reliability test.
High Speed Receivers
The EM4 high speed detector (HSD) modules are expressly designed for the demanding environments of defense, avionic and aerospace applications. The 2-pin package is a
hermetically sealed module containing an InGaAs PIN high speed photodiode with a flat frequency response to 20 GHz with a SMA compatible RF connector.
Other EM4 Products
Additional products from EM4 include 2.5 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s source lasers and receivers, high power PM fiber coupled DFB lasers, super luminescent LEDs (SLEDs), acoustic optic modulators (AOMs) and high power pigtailed isolators.
The complete product line will be on display at OFC/NFOEC Booth #3007 March 7-9, 2006 in Anaheim. All components are manufactured in the U.S. at EM4’s state-of -the-art facility in Bedford, Massachusetts where EM4 has developed proprietary tools that provide faster and more accurate fiber alignment and assembly that greatly speeds the manufacturing process. EM4’s market leading technology powers the systems of the some of the world’s most well-known names in the defense industry.
