LMC10NEG3347-J57

Data Sheet 10Gb/s Compact InP MZ Modulator with DWDM Laser LMC10NEG Negative Chirp - High Power The LMC10NEG product, containing the Bookham Ultra High Power Strained Layer DFB laser chip and negative chirp InP MZ modulator, has been specifically designed for use in 10 Gb/s high performance regional metro and long haul DWDM systems. By co-packaging the laser, locker, modulator and MZ Bias Control Tap in a package with the same footprint area as the industry standard 14-pin, the LMC10 series provides Mach-Zehnder performance at a price similar to lower performance alternatives. The provision of the MZ bias control tap offers the option of MZ bias point optimisation for best transmitted optical waveform over life. The high output power, integral wavelength locking and high extinction ratio provides excellent OSNR to allow the device to be employed on multi-span long haul links. Features: • Mean modulated power >+4dBm over life and temperature • Negative Chirp (up to 1600ps/nm applications) • Suitable for 50GHz ITU applications with +/-20pm λ accuracy over life • Low Power Dissipation • Industry Standard 14-pin footprint area • Pins on one side to allow increased system density • C and L band • Unrivalled performance vs size • Qualified to Telcordia GR-468 CORE • RoHS 5/6 compliant • Co-planar differential RF drive ≤2.7 volts Applications: • 10Gb/s Long Haul DWDM multi-span dispersion compensated links • Regional Metro single spans with no dispersion compensation • 10Gb/s Overlay for Metro Networks • 2.5Gb/s Long Haul DWDM multi-span non dispersion compensated links 1 Data Sheet Using the LMC10NEG The LMC10NEG can be used in two ways: Mode 1. With dynamic modulator arm DC bias control where the MZ bias control tap is used in a control loop to optimise the optical crossing point over life. Details of operating in this mode are given in applications note AN0136. Mode 2. Fixed modulator arm DC bias where the tap function is not used. Backwards compatible with the LMC10NEH device.
