The device is a 10Gb/s DWDM EA modulator and DFB laser with GPO RF connector, suitable for STM-64/OC-192 DWDM 100GHz applications, with low dispersion penalty over 40km. It features high output power, low modulation voltage, long haul performance, and no wavelength locker required.
The EML10WCA integrates an electro‑absorption modulator with a conventional DFB laser, providing low wavelength chirp and a high extinction ratio (>10.5 dB). It is supplied in a hermetic 7‑pin ceramic butterfly package that includes an optical isolator, monitor photodiode, thermistor and thermo‑electric cooler.
Typical specifications include a modulation drive voltage of 2.5 Vpp, a peak wavelength range of 1529.55–1560.61 nm, threshold current around 20 mA, and an optical bandwidth up to 12.5 GHz. The device is RoHS compliant and intended for DWDM applications up to 40 km.
