Optical subassembly having side-emitting optical fiber coupled to high-energy UV-C laser diode

An optical subassembly includes a housing, a laser package, and first and second end sections of side-emitting optical fiber. The housing defines first, second, and third channels which extend from a central space. The laser package is affixed to the third channel and comprises an edge-emitting UV-C...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An optical subassembly includes a housing, a laser package, and first and second end sections of side-emitting optical fiber. The housing defines first, second, and third channels which extend from a central space. The laser package is affixed to the third channel and comprises an edge-emitting UV-C laser diode disposed in the central space and having first and second edges. The first end section of side-emitting optical fiber is retained in the first channel and has a first end face which confronts the first edge. The second end section of side-emitting optical fiber is retained in the second channel and has a second end face which confronts the second edge. The housing further defines a fourth channel which extends from the central space. The optical subassembly further includes a transparent window seated in an opening of the fourth channel.
