AFCU-UITLAXX
Micro Integrable Tunable Laser (UITLA) Module
Product Brief
Description
Avago Technologies' AFCU-UITLAXX is an isolated micro
integrable tunable laser assembly (UITLA) module with
internal temperature control, power and wavelength
monitoring capability that is tunable over the C-Band or
L-band. The module is compliant with the standards es-
tablished in the Micro-Integrable Tunable Laser Assembly
Implementation Agreement (OIF-MicroITLA-01.0), which
articulates the characteristics of the UITLA for the purpose
of achieving a multiple source agreement (MSA) amongst
suppliers. The laser performs as a stable single-frequency
source over the life of the module and conforms to all the
required evaluation and qualification testing specifica-
tions outlined in this document.
The UITLA module is intended to be used in wavelength-
division-multiplexing (WDM) applications that require a
narrow linewidth such as coherent optical transmission.
The module can be operated at variable optical output
power levels while maintaining frequency lock. The chan-
nel assignment is user defined through standard OIF com-
mands, based on starting frequency and grid spacing,
providing a high degree of channel flexibility. The fine
frequency tuning feature allows high resolution active
frequency adjustment while maintaining power and line-
width control.
