EMCORE’s Model 1955 DFB lasers offer a low cost solution for linear fiber
optic links. These components can be cooled with external thermo-electric
coolers for high stability, or run without TEC’s to reduce power consumption.
The DFB laser builds upon EMCORE and Ortel’s long history of high
performance, leading-edge designs in CATV, wireless, and high-speed digital
applications. The laser diode devices are packaged in a compact hermetic
assembly together with monitor photodiode and isolator for flexible integration
into various transmitter configurations.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
1
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute
stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those
given in the operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can
adversely affect device reliability.
