Full Band Tunable DFB Laser Module

Applications

 Long Haul or Metropolitan DWDM

Transmission Systems

 Dynamic Wavelength Provisioning and

Add/Drop Multiplexer

Descriptions

 FRL15TCWx-D86 series is full band tunable DFB laser module 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.

 Full band thermally tunable DFB laser diode chip is integrated with an optical isolator,

thermo-electric coolers (TEC), thermistors, a power monitor photodiode, and a

wavelength monitor photodiode in a hermetically sealed 26 pin butterfly package with

same foot print as an industry standard 14 pin butterfly package.

 Full band thermally tunable DFB laser diode chip consists of DFB laser array and

semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). Each DFB laser is biased under constant

current and output power is maintained by adjusting SOA current under automatic

power control. By selecting an appropriate DFB laser and tuning the laser temperature,

FRL15TCWx-D86 series can provide any ITU channel in 35 nm tuning range.

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

and is manufactured in an ISOTM9001 certified production line.

Features

 35nm tunability (88 ITU channels at 50GHz spacing) available in C or L band

 Stable wavelength with integrated wavelength monitor

 High optical output power up to 20mW for C band

 High side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) in entire tuning range

 26 pin butterfly package

 Low TEC power consumption

 Polarization maintaining fiber pigtail

 RoHS compliant package
