Text version of the page

2 High-Precision Manufacturing JDSU laser manufacturing is tailored to commercial customers, featuring unit to unit consistency, predictability, and precision performance.We take extraordinary care in building our lasers. We have Class 100 areas and Class 10,000 environments. We use best-in-class procedures, processes, and technology. In addition, we employ a highly experienced and educated staff. Our manufacturing begins with premium components purchased or made on site to our exacting standards. Components are carefully inspected with advanced measurement and optical systems. Every metal, ceramic, and plastic surface is then cleaned to ensure components are free of contaminants In the build areas, computers on the technicians’ workstations are installed with easy-to-use, updated assembly instructions and documentation. And we have a manufacturing execution system to track work in progress, providing detailed records on the production floor for maximum quality and consistency. Data is automatically collected, which can be called up for review or forwarded to customers with a touch of the screen. Throughout the build phase, every laser is aligned, secured, inspected, and tested. Rigorous Testing Once assembled, the lasers are tested again with an extensive set of procedures, including thermal, stability and environmental shock. In fact, we have more than 50 test parameters. If a laser can survive our tests, it is likely to remain stable over time, which has been proven in the field. Continuous Improvement Our experience and process improvements—all of our learning—is applied wherever possible across our product lines. That strategy gives us a continually improving set of manufacturing standards and best practices to deliver exceptional products that can stand up to a variety of applications today and in the future.
