Negative Chirp - High Power

The LMC10NEJ product, containing the Bookham Ultra High

Power Strained Layer DFB laser chip and negative chirp InP

MZ modulator, has been specifically designed for use in 10

Gb/s high performance regional metro and long haul DWDM

systems. By co-packaging the laser, locker, modulator, VOA

and power monitor in a package with the same footprint area

as the industry standard 14-pin, the LMC10 series provides

Mach-Zehnder performance at a price similar to lower

performance alternatives. The internal power monitor and

optical attenuator allow fibre power stabilisation over life and

temperature. In addition the power tap offers the option of MZ

bias point optimisation for best transmitted optical waveform

over life. The high output power, integral wavelength locking

and high extinction ratio provides excellent OSNR to allow the

device to be employed on multi-span long haul links.

Features:

• Mean modulated power >+3dBm over life

and temperature

• Short term power stability <+/-0.5dB using

control loops

• Negative Chirp (up to 1600ps/nm applications)

• Co-planar differential RF drive

≤ 2.7 volts

• Suitable for 50GHz ITU applications with +/-20pm

λ

accuracy over life

• Low Power Dissipation

• Industry Standard 14-pin footprint area

• Pins on one side to allow increased system density

• C and L band

• Unrivalled performance vs size

• Qualified to Telcordia GR-468 CORE

• RoHS 5/6 compliant

Applications:

• 10Gb/s Long Haul DWDM Multi span dispersion

compensated links

• Regional Metro single spans with no

dispersion compensation

• 10Gb/s Overlay for Metro Networks

• LR2 compliant Transponders

• 2.5Gb/s Long Haul DWDM Multi span non

dispersion compensated links
