The Direct Modulated Isolated DFB Laser Module
contains an internally cooled, InGaAs, MQW, distrib-
uted-feedback (DFB) laser designed for 1.5 µm appli-
cations. The following three direct-modulation DWDM
product families have been established to meet vari-
ous OC-48/STM-16 system applications:
■ SONET/SDH compatible up to OC-48/STM-16
■ Temperature tunable for precise wavelength
selection
■ Integrated optical isolator
■ High-performance, multiquantum well (MQW)
distributed-feedback (DFB) laser
■ D2526-type: designed to be used in OC-48/
STM-16 (2.488 Gbits/s) for extended reach, dense
WDM applications (1800 ps/nm). The wavelength
of the laser can be temperature-tuned for precise
wavelength selection by adjusting the temperature
of the internal thermoelectric cooler.
■ Industry-standard, 14-pin butterfly package
■ Characterized at 2.488 Gbits/s (NRZ)
■ InGaAs, PIN photodetector back-facet monitor
■ Low threshold current
■ D2555-type: high-performance device designed for
very low dispersion; used in fiber spans exceeding
170 km (3000 ps/nm).
■ High-reliability, hermetic packaging
■ Excellent long-term wavelength stability can elimi-
nate the need for external wavelength locker
■ D2570-type: high-power, direct-modulated laser
eliminates the need for optical amplifiers in DWDM
many applications.
