lcatel 1905 LM I
Up to 20 mW WDM L-band version for external modulation
CW 1.55 µm Laser Module with optical Isolator
Description
This laser module contains an Alcatel
SLMQW DFB laser and is designed for use
with external modulation optimized for high
power Wavelength Division Multiplexed
(WDM) systems. The module incorporates a
polarization maintaining fiber pigtail,
thermoelectric cooler, precision thermistor,
and optical isolator for stable operation
under all conditions.
Features
• Up to 20 mW output power
• Wavelength selection according to
ITU-T G.692 (L-band)
• 50 GHz spacing available
• Optimized for use with LiNbO3 external
modulator
• Polarization maintaining fiber pigtail
• InGaAsP Distributed FeedBac k SLMQW (DFB)
laser
• Integral optical isolator
• Internal TEC and monitor photodiode
• Industry-standard hermetic 14 -pin butterfly
package
Applications
• Ultra long haul DWDM synchronous digital
transmission systems
• WDM submarine terminal digital transmission
systems
• Instrumentation.
