A1751A DWDM Analog
Forward-Path or Return-Path Laser Modules
Description
The A1751A laser module is a dense wavelength-
division multiplexing (DWDM) laser for analog appli-
cations. It features a distributed-feedback (DFB) chip
that has been designed specifically for radio fre-
quency (RF) applications. The A1751A laser module
has a wide temperature range for reliable perfor-
mance 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 linear-
ity minimizes degradation of the broadcast signals
caused by the quadrature amplitude modulation
(QAM) channels.

Wavelength-division multiplexing is being designed
into cable television architectures. DWDM, a method
for delivering targeted QAM signals to different loca-
tions, allows multiple signal sets to be combined onto
a single strand of fiber for transmission from a head-
end to a hub. At the hub, individual QAM signals can
be selected and combined with broadcast analog
channels. The versatile A1751A DWDM laser module
reduces cable network architecture fiber needs and
lessens equipment requirements in the hub.
The A1751A is available in a wide range of standard
ITU wavelengths. The lasers are offered as either for-
ward-path (40 MHz—860 MHz) or return-path
(5 MHz—210 MHz) modules.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are abso-
lute 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.
