March 20, 2020

Emcore Corp., a provider of mixed signal products, has announced its Model 1997 1310-nanometer and 1550 nanometer CWDW, 6 GHz uncooled coaxial DFB laser module. This module features 6 Ghz of extended bandwidth and is optimized for 5G, DAS and small cell applications, according to a press release.

It can deliver consistent wireless signals in temperatures ranging from -40 to 167-degrees Fahrenheit. Also unlike the 1998 model, this device eliminates the thermoelectric cooler and flex circuit connector for a smaller footprint.

"Our new 1997 laser expands Emcore's line of optical components for extended bandwidth, high-speed wireless applications," Gyo Shinozaki, VP and general manager of broadband for Emcore, said in the release. "With 6 GHz bandwidth and low noise operation, the 1997 will deliver maximum high-speed signal integrity for emerging 5G DAS and small cell networks."
