DESCRIPTION

The NX8571 Series is a 1 550 nm Multiple Quantum Well (MQW)

structured Distributed Feed-Back (DFB) laser diode module with wavelength

monitor function.

This device is temperature tunable over 4

× 50 GHz

channels. Available at both C-band (1 530.334 to 1 565.087 nm) and L-band

(1 565.496 to 1 608.760 nm) ITU-T grid wavelengths.

This device is designed as CW light source and ideal for transmission

systems in which external modulators are used.

FEATURES

• Wavelength monitor function (Etalon Filter, Wavelength monitor PD)

• Optical output power : Pf = 10 mW MIN.

• Available for DWDM wavelengths based on ITU-T recommendations

(50 GHz grid, please refer to the ORDERING INFORMATION)

• 4 channel wavelength tunable capability for 50 GHz-spacing
