Small wavelength drift over temperature, small footprint and low power consumption makes directly modulated distributed feedback (DFB) lasers ideal for uncooled operation in intra-datacenter interconnects. DFB lasers require significantly less process steps than electro absorption modulated lasers (EMLs), used typically for higher speeds and longer distances. AlGaInAs-based lasers are exceptionally desirable for uncooled operation compared to InGaAsP because of the Continue reading →
