The 1754C laser module is a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) laser for analog CATV
applications. It features a distributed-feedback (DFB) device that has been designed specifically for
radio frequency (RF) and CATV applications. The 1754C laser module has a wide temperature range
for reliable performance in harsh node environments and narrow transmitter designs. It also features
low adiabatic chirp to maximize signal quality in short and long lengths of fiber. The laser’s excellent
inherent linearity minimizes degradation of the broadcast signals caused by quadrature amplitude
modulated (QAM) channels.
The 1754C is available in all C-band ITU grid wavelengths.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress ratings only. Functional
operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to
absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

In order to prevent reflection-induced distortion, the laser must be connected to an optical cable having a return loss of at least 55 dB for discrete
reflections and 30 dB for distributed reflections.
