EMCORE’s Model 1935 DFB lasers offer a low cost solution for linear fiber optic
links. These components can be cooled with external thermo-electric coolers for
high stability, or run without TEC’s to reduce power consumption. The DFB laser
builds upon Ortel’s long history of high performance, leading edge designs in
CATV, wireless, and high speed digital applications. The laser diode devices are
packaged in a compact hermetic assembly together with monitor photodiode and
isolator, for flexible integration into various transmitter configurations.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
1
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress
ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the
operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect
device reliability.
