OL5172M
1550nm 10Gb/s EA Modulator with DFB Laser Module.
Rev.4 [10.2008 ]
1. DESCRIPTION
OL5172M is a 1550-nm electro-absorption (EA) modulator with DFB laser (EMwL) module for
10 Gb/s applications. The package contains an EMwL chip, an optical isolator, a rear-facet monitor
photodiode, and a thermoelectric cooler.
2. FEATURES
• High temperature operation of EMwL (T
LD
=45 degreeC) for lower power consumption
• Low dispersion penalty over 40 km (800 ps/nm) for 10 Gb/s operation
• Electrical isolation between signal GND and PKG case
• Pinout with XMD-MSA-TOSA compatible
• Mounting bracket available as an option
3. APPLICATION
• 10 Gb/s (OC-192) intermediate reach transmission
• High-speed data communication
