Direct Modulation DFB Laser
Built-in TEC, Thermistor and Monitor PD
14-Pin Butterfly Type Module
Low Residual Chirp
Optimized for 2.5 Gb/s Modulation Rates
Selected wavelengths according to ITU-T grid available
FLD5F6CX-E
APPLICATIONS
This laser is intended for application in 2.5 Gb/s long haul
Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) systems.
Transmission spans of 100 km (1800ps/nm) are possible.
DESCRIPTION
The FLD5FCX-E is capable of 2.5 Gb/s transmission. It is packaged in a “butterfly” type
module. The module employs a highly stable optical coupling system, coupling the laser
output through a built-in optical isolator into a single mode fiber pigtail. The module also
includes a monitor photodiode, a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and thermistor. This device is
optimally designed for use in DWDM direct modulation transmission systems. Selected wavelengths
are available to the specified ITU-T grid.
