Alcatel 1915 LMM WDM - 1600 ps/nm application 10 Gbit/s digital Laser Module with integrated electro-absorption Modulator Description The Alcatel 1915 LMM contains an Alcatel DFB laser with monolithically integrated electro-absorption modulator (ILM). The modulation voltage is applied to the modulator section while the DFB laser operates CW. Without the complexity of LiNbO3 external modulators, the Alcatel 1915 LMM is dedicated to STM64/OC-192 bit rate with reduced size and reduced cost. This device allows 10 Gbit/s data transmission with an extinction ratio higher than 10 db and less than 2 V modulation voltage. The Alcatel 1915 LMM is optimised for 10 Gbit/s TDM and WDM transmission systems supporting dispersion from 50 ps/nm to 1600 ps/nm. Features 7-pin package with either GPO or K connector RF input High frequency RF connector package with 50 Ω RF impedance InGaAsP monolithically integrated DFB laser and modulator chip Low drive voltage ( 2 Vpp) Very low dispersion penalty up to 80 km for 10 Gbit/s operation (up to 1600 ps/nm) Internal optical isolator, monitor photodiode, thermistor and thermo-electric cooler High power available Wavelength selection according to ITU-T G.692 Applications STM-64 and OC-192 long reach WDM transmission systems Terminals for submarine WDM transmission systems WDM long reach 10 Gbit/s applications Optical characteristics Parameter Threshold current Symb.
