L-EML Transmitter-Boards

L-EML Transmitter boards 3644 and 3645
from Emcore

Emcore’s Model 3644 transmitter card is a linear externally-modulated 1550 nm transmitter subassembly that is optimized for the 190CW channel plan with an operation bandwidth to 1.2 GHz. The source laser utilizes Emcore’s industry leading 1550 nm, high-power, low-noise, narrow linewidth Linear Externally Modulated Laser (L-EMLTM ). The transmitter card is designed to support traditional Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) applications, RFoG and RF overlay for Fiber-To-The-Premise (FTTP) supporting links from 0 to 100 km.
The 75 ohm RF video input supports frequencies up to 1218 MHz. Integrated within the design is Emcore’s patented predistortion technology to provide outstanding noise and distortion performance. There is an RF test port on board with monitor and control via an RS-232 interface. The board is offered in a compact form factor.
