Temperature Tunable
2.5 mW WDM Laser

CQF413/508 Series
dispersion penalty at BER = 10

is less than 2 dB
for a total dispersion of up to 3240 ps/nm at
1550 nm. Wavelength drift tests have been per-
formed to warrant long term wavelength stability.
The CQF413/508 is a 2 channel tunable (100 GHz
ITU grid) directly modulated laser source for use
in metro WDM systems up to a bit rate of
2.5 Gb/s and 180 km link length. The peak output
power is 2.5 mW.
Wavelengths are available in the range from
1527.99 to 1567.95 nm in accordance with the ITU
recommendation. Adhering to the 100 GHz grid
each laser can be adjusted between 2 adjacent
channels (3 channels adhering to the 50 GHz grid)
by temperature tuning.
The laser is available in a standard 14-pin butterfly
package with a single-mode fiber. It has excellent
thermal stability (e.g., wavelength drift with case
temperature is much better than 1 pm/°C).
Dependence of the optical isolation on case
temperature is minimized by a cooled isolator.
The internal bias-T network and built-in monitor
diode enable simple DC-bias conditioning and
output power stabilization of the laser diode.
Under small signal modulation conditions, the
bandwidth of the device exceeds 3 GHz. Due to the
intrinsic low chirp characteristic of the DFB laser,
the device is especially suitable for digital transmis-
sion at 1550 nm. Based on standard single-mode
fiber with non-zero dispersion, the maximum
Key Features
• 1550 nm (WDM) DFB laser diode
• Temperature tunable over 2 x 100 GHz channels
• 2.5 Gb/s suitable for OC-48 / STM-16
• Built-in cooled optical isolator
• Wavelengths available from 1527 - 1567 nm
• 25
W
electrical impedance matching
• 180 km distance
(3240 ps/nm dispersion at 1550 nm)
• Operation up to 85 °C
Applications
• WDM metro architectures and cable television
(CATV) networks, where low optical output
power and very low dispersion are required.
Especially suitable for systems operating in
environments with uncontrolled ambient
temperature.
• 100 GHz ITU grid system design without
increasing the complexity of inventory compared
to 200 GHz system architectures.
