Description
The A1112 1550 nm DFB laser modules are high-
power devices in a 14-pin butterfly package with a
thermoelectric cooler and monitor photodiode. The
lasers are designed to be used in conjunction with
commercially available external modulators for high-
performance analog and digital applications. Agere
Systems Inc. offers modules with 30 mW or 40 mW
output power coupled into polarization-preserving
fiber. The A1112 operates with positive or negative
bias.
