EMCORE Corporation has introducted two new 6.5 GHz Ultra-Linear Distributed Feedback (DFB) Laser Modules - the 1618A and 1718A. These new wide bandwidth laser modules are designed and optimized for next-generation Wireless and Distributed Antenna System (DAS) applications. EMCORE will debut the new 1618A and 1718A laser modules at OFC 2017, March 21-23 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, CA.
The increasing demands on wireless networks from social media, text, email, uploading and downloading of apps, music, videos and photos are creating greater demand for deployment of wireless systems. Network providers are building DAS systems in subway tunnels, massive stadiums, high-speed trains and other public environments. The new 1618A, 1310 nm and 1718A, 1550 nm DFB ultra-linear lasers are designed specifically to target these systems, enhancing bandwidth and signal integrity to enable the delivery of consistent, reliable wireless signals where interference is high, or signals are normally weak. These laser modules are packaged in EMCORE’s classic 14-pin butterfly cooled laser form-factor that delivers highly-linear and superior optical performance over an enhanced temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. These lasers are matched to 50 Ohm systems typical of wireless networks.
In addition to the new 1618A and 1718A lasers, EMCORE has re-launched its 1742, 1550 nm Microwave DFB Laser Module with upgraded bandwidth from 13 GHz to 18 GHz. The 1742 provides exceptional performance for linear fiber optic communications in very wide bandwidth applications including military communications, antenna remoting, telemetry, timing, reference signal distribution, measurement and delay lines. The 1742 laser module can be integrated into a complete transmitter either as a flange-mount for extreme environments, or as a plug-in for EMCORE’s rack-mount systems.
For more information on the new 1618A, 1718A and 1742 laser modules, please OFC 2017. EMCORE will be meeting with customers, industry analysts and the media during the show, and invite you to contact us if you would like to schedule a meeting.
