DWDM CW DFB Laser Module

Applications

 OC-192/STM-64 DWDM Transmission

Systems

Descriptions

 FRL15DCWx series of DFB laser module is designed for long haul DWDM applications

with external intensity modulator.

 The polarization maintaining fiber pigtail enables to directly connect a modulator without

polarization control. The polarization state of output laser beam is maintained to a

consistent orientation.

 A strained multi-quantum well DFB laser diode chip is integrated with optical isolator,

thermo-electric cooler (TEC), thermistor and power monitor photodiode in an industry

standard hermetically sealed 14 pin butterfly package.

 This laser module complies with telecom requirements described in TelcordiaTM GR-468

and is manufactured in an ISOTM9001 certified production line.

Features

 High optical output power up to 40mW

 High side mode suppression ratio(SMSR)

 Selected wavelength according to ITU-T Grid, C and L-band available

 50GHz spacing available

 Narrow linewidth available

 RoHS compliant package
