Alcatel 1915 LMM WDM - 800 ps/nm application 10 Gbit/s digital Laser Module with integrated electro-absorption Modulator

Description The Alcatel 1915 LMM contains an Alcatel DFB laser with monolithically integrated electro-absorption modulator (ILM). The modulation voltage is applied to the modulator section while the DFB laser operates CW. Without the complexity of LiNbO3 external modulators, the Alcatel 1915 LMM is dedicated to STM64/OC-192 bit rate with reduced size and reduced cost. This device allows 10 Gbit/s data transmission with an extinction ratio higher than 10 dB and less than 2 V modulation voltage. The Alcatel 1915 LMM is optimised for 10 Gbit/s TDM and WDM transmission systems supporting dispersion from 50 ps/nm to 1600 ps/nm. Features

7-pin package with either GPO or K connector RF input High frequency RF connector package with 50 RF impedance InGaAsP monolithically integrated DFB laser and modulator chip Low drive voltage ( 2 Vpp) Very low dispersion penalty over 40 km for 10 Gbit/s operation (over 800 ps/nm) Internal optical isolator, monitor photodiode, thermistor and thermo-electric cooler High power available Wavelength selection according to ITU-T G.692 STM-64 and OC-192 intermediate reach WDM transmission systems Terminals for submarine WDM transmission systems WDM Intermediate reach 10 Gbit/s applications ITU IR-2 WDM Short reach 10 Gbit/s applications ITU S-64.2
