Applied Optoelectronics Announces Availability of 25G Cooled LWDM Lasers
February 10 2020 - 7:00AM
Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AAOI), a leading provider of
fiber-optic access network products for the internet datacenter,
cable broadband, telecom and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) markets,
today announced the availability of 25 Gbps local area
network-wavelength division multiplexing (LWDM) cooled transistor
outline (TO) packaged laser diodes for 5G front-haul applications.
In emerging 5G networks, the front-haul link is the critical
fiber-optic segment between the antenna unit (radio head) and the
remotely located base station, from which connections to the wider
telecommunications network emanate. The 25G LWDM solution for
5G front-haul allows for sharing of the existing fiber
infrastructure, reducing 5G network deployment costs, saving fiber
resources, and improving 5G performance. Because the remote
radio heads are often installed outdoors in environmentally
challenging locations, the ability to operate reliably over a wide
operating temperature range is critical. AOI’s 25G LWDM
TO-Cans operate at industrial temperatures between -40°C and +85°C
with low power consumption. These devices are housed in a
temperature controlled, hermetically sealed TO format. The
output power can exceed 9dBm and an eye mask margin (EMM) of
greater than 30% is achievable with the IEEE 802.3cc standard eye
mask.
“As we begin to see widespread deployment of advanced 5G mobile
communications networks in 2020, we believe that AOI’s ability to
supply the needed LWDM channels and quantities of high-performance
laser diodes is an important consideration for our customers,”
comments David Chen, AOI’s AVP and Senior Director of Product
Management. “Our proprietary laser fabrication process and
in-house epitaxy, fabrication, and packaging operations allow us to
develop new varieties of laser diodes with the needed temperature
operating parameters, and also rapidly transition these devices
into high-volume production to meet our customers’ needs.”
These devices are currently available for sample requests.
