Description
The D370-type uncooled laser module consists of a
laser diode coupled to a single-mode fiber pigtail.
The device is available in a standard, 8-pin configu-
ration (see Figure 1 and/or Table 1) and is ideal for
long-haul (SONET) and other digital applications.
The module includes a multiquantum-well Fabry-
Perot (MQW F-P) laser and an InGaAs PIN photo-
diode back-facet monitor in an epoxy-free, hermeti-
cally sealed package.
