Ortel Announces 10 Gb/s Laser for Metro Applications
BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE). Ortel Corp. (Nasdaq:ORTL) today introduced the Daytona laser, a 1310nm 10 gigabit-per-second (Gb/s) distributed feedback (DFB) directly modulated laser (DML) designed for Metro network, drop-side Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) and datacom applications.
"In Metro applications, the most critical requirements are low cost and high speed. The Daytona Laser delivers 10 Gb/s bandwidth and high performance for a significantly lower price," said Jeff Rittichier, Ortel s vice president of worldwide marketing.
"The price and performance of the Daytona laser make it an ideal solution for drop-side DWDM long-haul transport equipment, add/drop multiplexers in SONET/SDH links, next-generation datacom routers, and inter-office time division multiplexing (TDM) links."
Ortel s Daytona laser is a cost-effective 10 Gb/s digital transmission solution for Metro SONET/SDH and dropside DWDM applications up to 50 km. It delivers 4 mW average output power over an extended case temperature range of -40(Degree) to +80(Degree) C.
This 1310nm laser provides superior signal quality and distortion performance for clean open eye patterns in short and intermediate reach applications. With excellent RF return loss, this 10 Gb/s laser integrates easily with high-speed optoelectronics. In addition, because its form factor is similar to 10 Gb/s electroabsorption laser modules, Ortel s Daytona Laser is readily designed into today s 10 Gb/s system designs.
Ortel Corp. designs, manufactures and supplies advanced optoelectronic technologies that provide the critical bandwidth and two-way interactivity essential for robust telecommunications and cable television applications. Ortel s fiber optics increase the capacity and performance of fiberoptic networks enabling them to handle ever-increasing volumes of voice, video and data communication.
The company has headquarters in Alhambra, Calif., with international operations in Sweden, Germany, France, Singapore and China. For more information visit Ortel s Web site at http://www.ortel.com.
