Abstract :
A wide temperature tunable laser packaging platform has been developed for avionic WDM LAN applications. The packaged tunable laser transmitter has successfully undergone 500 temperature cycles. It has a wide operating temperature range of -55degC to 95degC with a single mode fiber coupled output power of >1 mW. The transmitter can be directly modulated at 2.5 Gb/s and has 4-channel tunability at 100 GHz channel spacing.
