Fitel debuts new line of uncooled coaxial DFB and FP Laser Diodes
Clinton, New Jersey. Fitel Technologies, Inc., in a move that will expand their signaling product line, today announced the availability of a series of new low-cost, uncooled coaxial Distributed Feedback (DFB) and Fabry Perot (FP) Laser Diode Modules for telecomm and datacomm transmission in intermediate to long-haul networks. The design enables extremely low power consumption and small mounting size due to the absence of a thermoelectric cooler (TEC).
The suite of four DFB modules and one FP, which vary in power from 0.05mW to 1.6mW, are available in three different package designs: MF Pigtail module, RC module, and LC module. All are compliant with Telcordia reliability tests.
"We ve put a great amount of focus on the signaling market because we re seeing greater demand for such intermediate and long-reach products," explained Gerry Bezems, VP of Sales and Marketing. "We have a high degree of confidence in what we re producing because, much like our higher power cooled DFBs, these products are based on the proven strength of the Furukawa III-IV compound Indium Phospate (InP) laser chip design."
The M1 and M2 series uncooled DFB modules, which are available in 1310nm, 1510nm, and 1550nm, are designed for intermediate and long-haul use. The MX series is designed for Course Wavelength Division Multiplexing systems, or CWDM, and is available from 1470 to 1610nm. All the DFB modules operate at speeds up to 2.5Gpbs The FP laser diode module, which is available in 1310nm, is for intermediate use and supports SONET/SDH and Fiber-in-the-loop (FITL) compliant links for speeds up to 622Mbps.
Fitel Technologies and Furukawa have a strong history and expertise in developing and manufacturing laser diode modules, and currently hold nearly 70% of the total market share for 14xx pump lasers. Furukawa has maintained its position as a top manufacturer of pump lasers by leveraging the production capacity at its facility in Chiba, Japan.
