Microwave DFB Laser

The 1542 22 GHz 1310 nm Microwave Distributed Feedback (DFB)

Laser provides exceptional performance for linear fiber optics

communications in very wide bandwidth applications. EMCORE’s

linear fiber optics are an excellent alternative to using coaxial cable

systems to transmit 10 MHz to 22 GHz signals. They offer significant

improvements in reliability of microwave communications networks

by transmitting the RF signal in its original format. As a result of

these properties, the 1542 provides significant improvements in signal quality for

a wide variety of applications including antenna remoting, telemetry, timing and

reference signal distribution, measurement and delay lines.

The basic 1542 laser module can be integrated into a complete transmitter either

as a flange-mount for extreme environments, or as a plug-in for EMCORE’s Sys-

tem 10000 rack-mount system. Electronics within the flange-mount and plug-in

transmitters control the laser temperature and DC bias current and provide warn-

ings whenever the temperature or power deviates from their intended levels.

This provides a self-regulating, fully-integrated microwave product with excellent

noise performance in sensitive optical links.
