With 400um bare PM fiber, Panada image is verified under fiber scope at our lab. Without fiber connector. Fiber is long enough to make many fusion-splice. No FBG on the fiber. 14-pin butterfly laser module with TEC. No datasheet, no manufacturer test data, so we do not know the operating power exactly, but it should be still good for your research, and it is not for manufacture. It should be safe to drive not more than 700mA/200mW for long time, though it may be also OK to drive at up to 1000mA. It may degrade laser if drive at 1A or higher for long time.

See our tested results at bottom list of this page, at drive current 900mA at our lab (We also tested at 700mA and 800mA and put tested data label on each laser, but we did not list them here). We tested with Newport 8008 laser controller (max drive current is 1A), at 25 C degree.

Typical tested average wavelength on sample lasers are between 1465nm and 1495nm. See spectrum at the 6th photo below for 700mA and 7th photo for 100mA (tested output power is relative power only, after attenuator). Since our optical spectrum analyzer is not very calibrated, so the wavelength test results are only approximate.

Our supplier said it could be driven up to 1.5A, but not sure. It should be safe to operate at 700mA and may be also ok up to 1000mA, though you may try over 1A (As rule of thumb, 1480nm pump laser of other makers with low and medium operating power normally should drive between 1.6V and 2.5V, and not drive more than 2.5V over the laser diode for long time, and high power pump laser may drive slightly higher than 2.5V. See pdf links below for Fitel and JDS laser datasheet only for reference). Since Spectra-Physics is the leading supplier of high-power semiconductor lasers, so we believe this laser is medium or high power laser, rather than low power laser. So we believe this laser operating power may be > 200mW.

One customer tested a sample showing there is internal isolator.

Spectra-Physics pump laser group was sold to Newport, then to Oclaro.
