To supplement, here’s part of a post by PhotonicsGuy late last year:
C. Performance Stability Over Temperature
"Over the last several years, our Company has made various scientific breakthroughs that have allowed for the synthesis of proprietary organic polymer materials that can withstand extremely high process temperatures of 1750C. Additionally, these materials have demonstrated photochemical stability, even after being subjected to tensor light for over 4,000 hours and exhibited little electro optic degradation even after 2,500 hours of continuous exposure to temperatures at 1100C – exceeding typical commercial operating temperatures of approximately 850C, as found in data center applications."
Dr. Lebby delivered a presentation in June 2019 at the World Technology Mapping Forum. During the presentation, LWLG modulators were described as meeting the following Telcordia GR-468 COREi02 Requirements:
- Para. 3.3.3.1: High Temperature Operational Life (HTOL): 2000 hrs at power, driver, bias and Ta=85 degC
- Para. 3.3.2.1: Low Temperature Storage: -40 degC 72 hrs
- Para. 3.3.1.1: Mechanical Shock: MIL-STD-883 Method 2002.3
- Para. 3.3.1.1: Vibration: MIL-STD-883 Method 2007.2
- Para. 3.3.1.2: Thermal Shock: MIL-STD-883 Method 1011.9
- Para. 3.3.1.3.1: Fiber Twist: FOTP 36
- Para. 3.3.1.3.2: Fiber Side Pull: GR-326-CORE 4.4.3.5
- Para. 3.3.1.3.3: Cable Retention: FOTP 36
