The MTX310EW electro-absorption modulated laser (EML) module consists of a multi-quantum-well DFB laser device with 1310nm nominal emission and a monolithically integrated electro-absorption (EA) modulator in a 7-pin, hermetically-sealed package with a GPO connector. State-of-the-art, epoxy-free laser-welding is utilized. The laser module also contains a thermoelectric cooler and a monitor photodiode.
The device is designed for 10 Gb/s transmission rates for short- and intermediate-reach distances and Metro and long-haul applications. The MTX310EW is optimized to operate at a bit-rate of 10Gb/s for OC-192 and STM-64 Metro transmission with excellent reliability. The 310EW uses our high performance EML platform operating at 1310nm, where fiber dispersion is near zero. This allows the 310EW to provide superior performance and longer reach than typical 1310 DFB lasers.
The incorporated thermoelectric cooler keeps the laser chip at a well-controlled temperature. This allows the device to operate over a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.
