Emcore’s Model 755M is a directly modulated (DM) DWDM optical
transmitter specifically designed for wideband applications that require
both CATV and DBS signals to be carried over up to 20 km of fiber. This
facilitates networks designs that may use a single transmitter to carry
multiple signals.
The 755M supports full 79-channel NTSC analog signal and or a
combination of QAM, DBS with reduced channel analog CATV. The
fiber length the 755M can support is up to 20km.
The 755M family of transmitter products is designed to support various
CATV transmitter applications with a common platform. A 75Ω CATV RF
video input supports frequencies up to 1002 MHz. Integrated within the
transmitter design are Emcore’s low chirp control, noise suppression
circuitry, and patented predistortion technology to provide outstanding
performance with any of Emcore’s wide range of cooled broadband
lasers. A second 75Ω RF input supports frequencies up to 2600 MHz for
FTTP, L-Band satellite, and wireless applications.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the transmitter. These
are absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied or guaranteed at these or any
other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

RF Characteristics
The following specifications are reference at 25C. The test receiver responsivity of 0.95 A/W (at 1550 nm) and an
equivalent noise current of 7pA/rt(Hz). Test fiber is single mode, Corning SMF-28 (or equivalent) with 0.25 dB/km
maximum loss (at 1550 nm). In order to prevent reflection-induced distortion, the transmitter subassembly must be
connected to an optical cable with discrete reflections < -55 dB and distributed reflections < -30 dB.
