Bookham LC25FTxxxxCB-C57 2.5Gb/s Buried Het 8 x 50GHz Tunable Laser, 3mw, 380KM with LC connector.

This laser module employs the Bookham Technology gain coupled SLMQW buried heterostructure DFB laser chip, and has been designed specifically for use in Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) 2.5Gb/s long distance optical fiber trunk systems. The device is packaged in a hermetically sealed 14-pin butterfly package incorporating an isolator and locking optics to lock and stabilize wavelength and power of the laser over life. The module is thermally tunable by means of the internal thermo-electric cooler over eight adjacent 50GHz ITU WDM channels. The device is available with a number of power options and wavelength schemes that are customised to individual customer requirements.
