Telcordia Certifies DenseLight LEDs

SINGAPORE -- DenseLight Semiconductors Private Limited ("DenseLight") announces that her Superluminescent LEDs (SLEDs) have successfully passed Telcordia's GR-468-CORE, "Reliability Assurance Requirements for Optoelectronics Devices Used in Telecommunications Equipment". The company has completed the vigorous 7-month testing process that includes mechanical, endurance, 5000-hour accelerated-ageing and ripple-ageing tests. The results validate the inherent reliability of DenseLight's SLEDs, which are then packaged in industrially established form-factors. In particular, the GR-468-CORE represents a mark of quality in active optoelectronic devices, historically for the telecommunication industry. It is by far the most definitive standard in qualification and characterization of active devices and its intention is to establish a hallmark of reliability under harsh operating conditions.

The extremely demanding customers, many from the medical and military fields, they have come to expect and recognise the value of Telcordia and have been very satisfied with DenseLight's qualification. This regime of qualification is complemented with its recently-awarded ISO9001:2000 certification. Therefore, DenseLight confirms and establishes her superiority not only in the quality of the actual products, but also in her operational environment, industrial processes, and organization.

DenseLight has been a market leader and innovator of SLEDs and is committed to supply customers with leading-edge optical products. DenseLight's SLEDs, with superior design, benefit from the highest E/O efficiency in the industry. They need relatively lower operating current per mW, than other manufacturers, to generate the same optical output power (high wall-plug efficiency). High polarization-extinction-ratios (PER) are available, as well as soon to follow low degree-of-polarization (DOP) options.

Already addressing a broad spectrum of industries, and keeping up to her commitment, DenseLight widens her application space further in the 14xx nm region, by rolling out the 1400 nm DL-CS40H2A (min. 15 mW and 35 nm bandwidth), and the 1480 nm DL-CS48H5A (typ. 20 mW, and 50 nm bandwidth). Also, for optical coherence tomography (OCT) the new 1310 nm DL-CS3184A is ideal (typ. 20 mW, 45 nm wide bandwidth). Finally, the new high-power 1550 nm DL-CS5254A, delivers about 30 mW with a 45 nm bandwidth, enabling applications to achieve a competitive edge when power and coherence noise are vital.
