MAP DFB Laser

MAP DFB Laser

Product Datasheet (PDF, 0.17 MB)

The Multiple Application Platform (MAP) Distributed Feedback (DFB) Laser Cassette is an excellent source for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system testing. A combination of DFB lasers may be used to create an ITU grid in which optical frequency represented by a DFB laser corresponds to the transmitter in the optical network. The standard MAP DFB Laser can be selected to comply with the 50 GHz ITU grid in the C- and L-band (1527 to 1610 nm). The lasers typically show a side-mode suppression ratio of 40 dB and can be modulated internally from 0.2 to 400 kHz in square, sinusoidal and triangular waves.

Safety Information

  • This optical source cassette, when installed in the MAP chassis, complies to CE requirements plus UL3101-1 and CAN/CSAC22.2 No.1010.1, meets the requirements of Class 3B in standard IEC 60825-1(2002), and complies with 21 CFR 1040.1 except deviations per Laser Notice No.50, July 2001.
