SUGAR LAND, Texas -- Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. (AOI), a leading manufacturer of laser diodes, photodetectors, and optical modules for fiber optic communications systems, is offering a C-band DWDM Box TOSA in a standard 9-pin package.

Key features of the laser include:

“AOI is pleased to extend our TOSA product family with the introduction of a DWDM box TOSA. The TOSA was developed for SFF (small form factor) and SFP (small form factor pluggable) transceiver manufacturers. The TOSA’s high optical efficiency, low power consumption and small size provide the industry with a high performance optical product for demanding applications,” comments Casey Whitelaw, Application Engineer for AOI. “AOI’s record of reliability, in-house wafer growth and packaging, and laser chips designed specifically for the application provides AOI with the industry’s best performance and lead time.”

In a separate release:

Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. (AOI), a leading manufacturer of laser diodes, photodetectors, and optical modules for fiber optic communications systems, is offering DWDM analog forward path lasers in standard 14-pin butterfly packages in the O-band (near 1310-nm) wavelength range.

Key features of the laser include:

“MSO’s are evolving from primarily broadcast services to providing a rich mix of individualized services and video content to their customers. As serving groups are becoming smaller we see an uptick in our customers’ orders for node products signaling a greater degree of node segmentation. A DWDM multi-wavelength system is a technically robust solution that offers a cost effective way for MSOs to keep up with these demands without expensive upgrades to their fiber infrastructure” explains Dr. Zulfikar Morbi, Senior Product Manager for AOI, “With our deep expertise in laser chip design, AOI can offer customized wavelengths for our customers, the system integrators and equipment manufacturers, to cost-effectively develop multi-wavelength transmitters that are compatible with their existing 1310-nm broadcast transmitters.”
