Compact EML Module Targets 40-Gb/s Applications

Designed for OC-768-based fiber optic networks, the OL5155M is an electro-absorption modulator with integrated laser (EML). According to the company, the module delivers a cost-effective, compact, easily deployable solution for customers rolling out 40-Gb/s network infrastructure. The combination of a 1550-nm DFB laser diode monolithically integrated with an EA modulator reportedly produces a very stable, space-saving module. Applications include 40-Gb/s very short reach (
