E2560-Type 10 Gb/s EML Modules
for 40 km DWDM Transmission
Description
The E2560 EML is designed for 10 Gb/s DWDM
transmission applications. It integrates a CW laser
with an electroabsorptive modulator in the same
semiconductor chip and is an extension of CyOptics’
existing E2500-series of devices. These devices can
replace external modulators that are often bulkier,
more expensive, and require more drive electronics
than the EML. Both series use a small-profile
GPO
™
connector to handle the RF signal. The package also
contains a thermoelectric cooler, thermistor, rear-
facet monitor photodiode, and an optical isolator.
The E2560 is available for transmission distances of
up to 40 km, and is available in a range of ITU-T
wavelengths for use in DWDM systems operating at
10 Gb/s per channel.
The nominal input impedance of the E2560 version is
50
Ω.
The package is qualified to the
Telcordia
Technologies
™
TA-TSY-000468 standard.
The devices exhibit excellent wavelength stability,
supporting operation at 100 GHz channel spacing
over 20 years (assuming an end-of-life aging condi-
tion of <±100 pm). Typically, no external wavelength
stabilization is required in systems of this type, using
the CyOptics E2560 EMLs. The package also offers
excellent stability of wavelength vs. case tempera-
ture, with a maximum coefficient of ±0.5 pm/°C.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are abso-
lute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied 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.
