LMC10ZEG
Zero Chirp - High Power
The LMC10ZEG product, containing the Bookham Ultra High
Power Strained Layer DFB laser chip and Zero chirp InP MZ
modulator, has been specifically designed for use in 10 Gb/s
high performance regional metro and long haul C band
DWDM systems. By co-packaging the laser, locker, modulator,
VOA 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 internal optical attenuator allow
fibre power stabilisation over life and temperature. 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:
• Variable mean modulated optical power range of
0 to -10dBm
• Zero Chirp +/-0.2 alpha
• Co-planar differential RF drive ≤3.0 volts
• 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
• Unrivalled performance vs size
• Integrated VOA
• Qualified to Telcordia GR-468 CORE
• RoHS 5/6 compliant
Applications:
• Long Haul DWDM multi-span dispersion
compensated links
• Regional Metro single spans with no
dispersion compensation
