SUGAR LAND, Texas -- Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. (AOI) today announced the availability of three new analog 1310-nm lasers. These lasers are designed for analog transmission over the 50 MHz to 860 MHz frequency range used to transmit cable television signals. Additionally, they are well suited to antenna remoting applications. These cost effective lasers are an ideal linear light source for intermediate reach and long-reach analog applications. Like AOI's digital 1310-nm lasers, this new line features outstanding performance at elevated temperatures. Consequently, these lasers can be deployed in demanding environments without expensive cooling. All three lasers are available immediately. The DFB-1310-C5-2-A is a single-mode laser designed for CATV forward path. The DFB-1310-C5-2-A2 is a single-mode laser designed for CATV return path and antenna remoting applications. Both lasers feature low RIN and a high side-mode suppression ratio. The FP-1310-C5-1.8-A is a cost effective alternative for intermediate-reach and short-reach, single-channel applications. Designed around a Fabry-Perot version of AOI's 1310-nm laser diode, this multimode laser features robust operation at high temperatures. "As historically analog systems, such as cable TV, expand and add additional bandwidth, the demand for high performance analog lasers has also grown. AOI's new line of analog lasers meets this need," said Stefan Murry, AOI's Marketing Director. Applied Optoelectronics Inc. (AOI)
