DESCRIPTION

The NX8564/8565/8566LE Series is an Electro-Absorption (EA) modulator

integrated, 1 550 nm Multiple Quantum Well (MQW) structured Distributed

Feed-Back (DFB) laser diode. The module is capable of 2.5 Gb/s applications

of over 360 km, 600 km, 240 km ultralong-reach and available for Dense

Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) wavelengths based on ITU-T

recommendations, enabling a wide range of applications.

FEATURES

• Integrated electroabsorption modulator

• Very low dispersion penalty

(over 360 km (6480 ps/nm), NX8564LE-BC/CC)
