AC1409 Series Single Mode Pump Lasers, 600-700mWFeatures• Tested to Telcordia GR-468-CORE• Optional Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG)• Internal cooler and thermistorApplications• Defense• Industrial• Life Science

General Description
The Gooch & Housego line of single mode, cooled 980 nm pump lasers deliver >700mW of kink-free fiber-coupled power. The modules are packaged using unique laser-weld packaging technology for high reliability over harsh operating conditions. Improved PER isachieved using advanced fiber pigtail construction techniques.
The hermetically sealed 14-pin butterfly package is available with a fiber Bragg grating and includes thermoelectric cooler, thermisTM
tor, monitor photodiode and UniDry getter. The fiber Bragg grating precisely locks the center wavelength over extended power
and temperature range. Center wavelengths in the range of 976 nm to 980 nm are available with tight wavelength control. G&H’s
pump lasers are tested to meet the requirements outlined in Telcordia GR-468-CORE.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and operation of the device at or beyond these conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods of time may affect device reliability.
