Abstract:The development of Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) in long-haul telecommunications applications resulted in the rapid evolution of high power semiconductor lasers. In these applications, the demand for increased channel density in fiber-optic communication has pushed forward the use of single-mode ridge-waveguide laser diodes (LDs). One of the major concerns in these single-mode LD packages is the thermal management of the module. These semiconductor lasers usually generate large heat fluxes, up to the ra… Show more
