The JDS Uniphase CQF935/108 series laser is
specifically developed for wavelength division
multiplexing (WDM) systems, where it is used as a
wavelength selected source in combination with an
external modulator, such as the LiNbO
3
-based
Mach-Zehnder.
Selected wavelengths comply with ITU recommen-
dations, both in range (channels from 1527.61 to
1564.68 nm) and in channel definition, thus
adhering to the 100 GHz grid relative to a fre-
quency of 193.1 THz. Each laser's wavelength is
accurately measured, and the laser itself is accom-
panied by a datasheet with the laser performance
at the temperature T
l
, where the required wave-
length channel is reached.
The CQF935/108 shows high side mode suppres-
sion ratios, very low relative intensity noise, and
small linewidths. It is available in a standard 14-
pin butterfly package equipped with a polarization
maintaining fiber to facilitate coupling to the
modulator, and shows superb thermal stability.

Typical L-I curve for the CQF935. Each laser is characterized
at the temperature for which the specified wavelength
channel
l
c
is reached.
The use of multi-quantum well technology results in excellent
side-mode suppression ratios and small linewidths.
