DATA
SHEET
The FP-1310-4I-56A is an MOCVD grown InAlGaAs ridge laser diode with
emission wave-length of 1310 nm and standard continuous light output of 5
mW. These lasers provide stable, single transverse mode oscillation. These are
hermetically sealed devices in a coaxial package (TO-56) with an integrated
monitor photodiode to monitor the optical output. This is a suitable light
source for data-com and telecom applications with data rates up to 4 Gb/s.

ADVANCED OPTICAL COMPONENTS
Finisars ADVANCED OPTICAL COMPONENTS division was
formed through strategic acquisition of key optical compon-
ent suppliers. The company has led the industry in high
volume Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) and
associated detector technology since 1996. VCSELs have
become the primary laser source for optical data communi-
cation, and are rapidly expanding into a wide variety of sensor
applications. VCSELs’ superior reliability, low drive current,
high coupled power, narrow and circularly symmetric beam
and versatile packaging options (including arrays) are enabling
solutions not possible with other optical technologies.
ADVANCED OPTICAL COMPONENTS is also a key supplier of
Fabrey-Perot (FP) and Distributed Feedback (DFB) Lasers, and
Optical Isolators (OI) for use in single mode fiber data and
telecommunications networks
