Pump Lasers

Choose from a comprehensive range of 980 nm pump lasers delivering kink-free power for all types of EDFA applications from single channel to DWDM, including submarine uses.

Component density and power consumption are often primary considerations because they translate into cost of installation and cost of ownership of a network. That’s why we offer a complete range of powers in uncooled, semi-cooled, and traditional-cooled formats.
