The JDSU PPM-5 Photonic Power Module is an integrated power system that
delivers electrical power to another location carried only by light over fiber. This
electrically-isolated power source can drive electronics in locations that are
hazardous, electrically-noisy, remote, inaccessible, or exposed to extreme weather.
JDSU’s unique solution enables optical energy from a self-contained laser diode
module to deliver light via fiber to a photovoltaic power converter for conversion
to electrical energy. Power input to drive the laser is 5 V DC. Converter output is
5 V DC. The PPM-5 can deliver up to 0.5 to 1 W of electrical power in the 750 to
850 nm and 900 to 1000 nm range depending on the laser source selected. Power
can be delivered over distances of 0.5 km or greater using 62.5 or 100 µm multimode fiber.
The PPM-5 provides interfaces to monitor laser power and temperature. The
module is designed for easy heat sinking and for simple pinout for daughter board
or ribbon cable connection.
