10Gb/s Compact InP MZ Modulator
with DWDM Laser
LMC10NEG
Negative Chirp - High Power
Features:
The LMC10NEG product, containing the Bookham Ultra High
Power Strained Layer DFB laser chip and negative chirp InP
MZ modulator, has been specifically designed for use in 10
Gb/s high performance regional metro and long haul DWDM
systems. By co-packaging the laser, locker, modulator and MZ
Bias Control Tap in a package with the same footprint area as
the industry standard 14-pin, the LMC10 series provides
Mach-Zehnder performance at a price similar to lower
performance alternatives. The provision of the MZ bias control
tap offers the option of MZ bias point optimisation for best
transmitted optical waveform over life. The high output power,
integral wavelength locking and high extinction ratio provides
excellent OSNR to allow the device to be employed on
multi-span long haul links.
