The Oclaro Prosario(TM) Fiber-Coupled Diode Delivers the Performance and Reliability Required for Next Generation Solid State Lasers
SAN JOSE, Calif. - Oclaro, Inc. (NASDAQ: OCLR), a provider of optical components for industrial applications, today announced the next-generation Prosario fiber-coupled diode platform combining core technologies from Oclaro's worldwide design facilities. Delivering up to 60 watts at 8xx nm from fiber diameters of 400-800 µm in an industry standard footprint, the Prosario platform delivers higher power and brightness than competitive products and provides an ideal drop-in solution for system upgrades.
"Oclaro is now able to serve the entire mid-power fiber-coupled market segment with the Prosario platform addressing the 40W+ market and our recently announced Orion(TM) platform meeting the needs of the sub-40W space," said Yves LeMaitre, Executive Vice President and Division Manager at Oclaro. "By providing the most comprehensive family of high-brightness fiber-coupled diodes in the industry today, our customers will be able to better serve their markets with the right level of performance, reliability and cost needed for the target application."
Similar to the Orion platform, the Prosario platform is a highly-integrated product family resulting from Oclaro's acquisition of Newport Spectra-Physics high power laser diodes business. By combining the cutting-edge technologies in device design and proprietary E2 facet passivation from Oclaro's Zurich facility with the advanced packaging technologies from Oclaro's Tucson facility, the Prosario fiber-coupled diode delivers exceptional performance and reliability at a lower price.
