ML7XX14 SERIES
TYPE
NAME ML725B14F
MITSUBISHI LASER DIODES
InGaAsP DFB-LASER DIODES
DESCRIPTION
ML7XX14 series are MQW*-DFB** laser diodes emitting
light beam around 1310nm.
They are well suited for light source in long distance analog
transmission system for example cable television (CATV).
The ML7XX14 is able to operate in wide temperature rang from
-40ºC to +85ºC
ML725B14F are hermetically sealed devices with the photo
diode for optical output monitoring.
* MQW : Multiple Quantum Well
** DFB : Distributed Feedback
