NEC's NX8571 Series is a 1550 nm Multiple Quan tum Well
(MQW) structured Distributed Feed-Back laser diode with
wave length mon i tor func tion. This device is temperature tun-
able up to 8 x 50 GHz channels. Available at both C-band
(1530.334 to 1565.087 nm) and L-band (1565.496 to 1608.760
nm) ITU-T grid wavelengths. This de vice is de signed as a CW
light source and is ideal for trans mis sion systems in which
external mod u la tors are used.
