LASER DIODE
NX8508 Series
1 470 TO 1 610 nm InGaAsP MQW-DFB LASER DIODE
COAXIAL MODULE FOR 2.5 Gb/s, CWDM
DESCRIPTION
The NX8508 Series is a 1 470 to 1 610 nm Multiple Quantum Well (MQW)
structured Distributed Feed-Back (DFB) laser diode coaxial module with an
internal optical isolator.
These devices are ideal for 2.5 Gb/s CWDM application.
FEATURES
• Internal optical isolator
• Peak emission wavelength
• Optical output power
• Operating case temperature range
• Side mode suppression ratio
• InGaAs monitor PIN-PD
• With SC-UPC connector
• Based on Telcordia reliability
