Descriptions
FRL15DCWx-A8x-Wxxxx series of DFB laser module is designed for OC-192/STM-64
applications with external intensity modulator and probe light source.
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.
A strained multi-quantum well DFB laser diode chip is integrated with optical isolator,
thermo-electric cooler (TEC), thermistor and power monitor photodiode in an industry
standard hermetically sealed 14 pin butterfly package.
This laser module complies with telecom requirements described in TelcordiaTM GR-468
and is manufactured in an ISOTM9001 certified production line.
Features
High optical output power up to 40mW
High side mode suppression ratio(SMSR)
Selected wavelength between 1530nm and 1610nm available
