Ortel Announces Wafer Fabrication Transfer to Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre for Flagship C-Band, High-Power Continuous Wave Laser | PR Newswire [Video]

, /PRNewswire/ — Ortel, a Photonics Foundries enterprise, today announced the successful transfer of wafer fabrication for its C-Band, High-Power, Continuous Wave Laser Module platform to the Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre (CPFC). The CPFC is the leading North American pure-play III-V semiconductor wafer foundry. This transfer assures uninterrupted wafer supply and a smooth transition of this industry-leading laser to ever expanding markets including LIDAR, fiber optic sensing, coherent and externally modulated fiber optic communications, and test and measurement.

The laser features a narrow linewidth (typically 50 kHz), high power (up to 100 mW), and low noise performance. The laser is also available for DWDM applications as it is offered on the ITU wavelength grid. It is offered as the model 1790 in 14-pin butterfly form, model number 1995 in a cooled TO56 package, while also offered on various standard or custom chip-on-sub mount forms. Initial customer samples will be available in February, with fully qualified production device availability …
