APPLICATION
This MI laser is intended for application in 2.5 Gb/s long haul
transmission links over 10,000ps/nm (with Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA)).
DESCRIPTION
The Modulator Integrated DFB Laser (MI DFB Laser) has an electro-absorption modulator
monolithically integrated with a conventional Distributed Feed-Back (DFB) laser. The modulation
voltage is applied to the modulator section while the laser section operates CW allowing extremely
low wavelength chirping. Transmission spans in excess of 10,000ps/nm are achievable. Extinction
ratios of greater than 10 dB are achievable with 2Vp-p modulation. The MI laser is installed in a butter
fly type package. The module incorporates a highly stable optical coupling system. The module
includes an optical isolator, monitor photodiode, thermistor and a thermo-electric cooler. Selected
wavelengths according to the ITU-T grid are available for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing
(DWDM) applications.
