Power and Spectral Range Characteristics for Optical Power Converters
High-performance optical power converters (OPCs) enable isolated electrical power and power beaming applications at new wavelengths and higher output powers. Broadcom’s vertical epitaxial heterostructure architecture (VEHSA) multi-junction OPCs permit optical-to-electrical conversion at high efficie...

| description | High-performance optical power converters (OPCs) enable isolated electrical power and power beaming applications at new wavelengths and higher output powers. Broadcom’s vertical epitaxial heterostructure architecture (VEHSA) multi-junction OPCs permit optical-to-electrical conversion at high efficiency and at manageable external loads. This study provides details of how the power outputs have been extended from <1 W to a power class at ~3 W and another class at >20 W. The work also provides details of how the spectral range options have been extended from 800–830 nm to other key laser diode wavelengths such as 960–990 nm and 1500–1600 nm. |
