AOI offers C-Band DWDM Box TOSA
March 5, 2008
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:
High optical output power
Up to 4.0 Gbps data rates
100 GHz DWDM C-band coverage
Laser chip designed for up to 180km reach
Package styles: LC TOSA and fiber pigtailed
Integrated TEC with low power consumption
Optional extended temperature range from -40ºC to +85ºC
RoHS compliant package
Fully Telcordia GR-468 compliant
“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:

Key features of the laser include:
High optical output power up to 13 dBm
Excellent linearity
Customized grid wavelengths in 1310-1330 nm range
Designed for RF modulation to 1000 MHz
Easily combined with with AOI’s patent-pending predistortion circuitry to enhance performance

“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.”
