High Power 960 nm Pump
Modules for L-band EDFAs
1600 Series Pumps
The JDS Uniphase 1600 Series is a new product line
of 960 nm pump modules for use in L-band
EDFAs in both long haul and metropolitan area
fiber networks. These pumps can be applied in
wideband EDFAs in a dense wavelength division
multiplexing (DWDM) fiber optic network. They
can also be used in a L-band, single channel or low
channel count, narrow band erbium doped fiber
amplet.
These 300 mW 960 nm pump modules offer the
most cost effective and highly efficient solutions
for L-band EDFAs. The combination of pump
efficiency at 960 nm in a L-band EDFA, high
optical output power, low noise figure, and low
heat dissipation, enables these pump modules to
meet the performance and cost requirements for
all of the L-band applications.
The 1600 Series 960 nm pump modules integrate
the state-of-the-art 6540 chip technologies and
fiber Bragg technologies, deliver very high optical
power, warrant superior reliability, ensure rock
solid wavelength stability and provide superior
wall plug efficiency.

User Safety
Safety and Operating Considerations
The laser light emitted from this laser diode is
invisible and may be harmful to the human eye.
Avoid looking directly into the fiber when the
device is in operation.
CAUTION: THE USE OF OPTICAL INSTRU-
MENTS WITH THIS PRODUCT WILL
INCREASE EYE HAZARD.
Operating the laser diode outside of its
maximum ratings may cause device failure or a
safety hazard. Power supplies used with the
component must be employed such that the
maximum peak optical power cannot be
exceeded.
CW laser diodes may be damaged by excessive
drive current or switching transients. When
using power supplies, the laser diode should be
connected with the main power on and the
output voltage at zero. The current should be
increased slowly while monitoring the laser
diode output power and the drive current.
Careful attention to heatsinking and proper
mounting of this device is required to insure
specified performance over its operating life.
To maximize thermal transfer to the heatsink,
the heatsink mounting surface must be flat to
within .001” and the mounting screws must be
torqued down to 1.5 in.-lb.
ESD PROTECTION — Electro-static discharge
is the primary cause of unexpected laser diode
failure. Take extreme precaution to prevent
ESD. Use wrist straps, grounded work surfaces,
and rigorous anti-static techniques when
handling laser diodes.
21 CFR 1040.10 Compliance
Because of the small size of these devices, each of the labels shown is attached to the
individual shipping container. They are illustrated here to comply with 21 CFR 1040.10 as
applicable under the Radiations Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968.
