LASER DIODE
NX8571 Series
1 550 nm CW LIGHT SOURCE
InGaAsP MQW-DFB LASER DIODE MODULE
WITH WAVELENGTH MONITOR
DESCRIPTION
The NX8571 Series is a 1 550 nm Multiple Quantum Well (MQW)
structured Distributed Feed-Back (DFB) laser diode module with wavelength
monitor function.
This device is temperature tunable over 4
×
50 GHz
channels. Available at both C-band (1530.334 to 1565.087 nm) and L-band
(1565.496 to 1608.760 nm) ITU-T grid wavelengths.
This device is designed as CW light source and ideal for transmission
systems in which external modulators are used.
FEATURES
• Wavelength monitor function (Etalon Filter, Wavelength monitor PD)
• Optical output power: P
f
= 10 mW MIN.
• Available for DWDM wavelengths based on ITU-T recommendations
(50 GHz grid)
• 4-channel wavelength tunable capability for 50 GHz-spacing
(NX8571S××××D)
• Internal thermo-electric cooler and isolator
• Hermetically sealed 14-pin butterfly package
• Polarization maintain fiber pigtail
Document No. PL10136EJ03V0DS (3rd edition)
