FREMONT, CA – July 28, 2008 – Santur Corporation, the leading
manufacturer of high performance parallel array devices for the global
telecommunications industry, today announced general availability of 50mW
(17dBm) C-band and L-band DFB-based widely tunable lasers. Such characteristics
are desirable in a variety of architectures where very high power and stable DFB
characteristics are required.
These applications include hybrid fiber-coax (HFC), cable TV, metro, passive
optical network (PON), and backbone 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s systems that are being
developed with advanced modulation coding techniques or coherent detection.
The very high power allows larger splitting losses in passive optical networks,
and better signal to noise ratio in high speed links. Previously such power
levels were only commercially available in fixed wavelengths devices.
The Santur laser includes a wavelength locker for operation at 100GHz to 25GHz
ITU spacing, and is available either as an easy-to-use butterfly or a fully
contained pre-calibrated module. This product offering is a direct result of
Santur’s strong focus on devices using unique DFB array architectures. These
lasers are fully qualified and extensively tested for telecom requirements with
nearly 200,000 devices operating in the field carrying live traffic. Vibha Goel, Director of Marketing at Santur, stated “Our expertise in advanced
DFB manufacturing techniques and our long experience with tunable lasers allows
us to tailor the performance of the DFBs for various applications. We are proud
to make 50mW widely tunable devices commercially available with no compromises
on performance or power consumption.”
