1550nm, 5mW Laser Diode, 2.5Gbps

The AC4620 series laser diode from Archcom Technology is an uncooled semiconductor InAlGaAs Fabry Perot laser that operates at a typical emission wavelength of 1550 nm. It is delivered in a hermetic TO package with a photodiode for optical power monitoring. The laser diode has a threshold current of 12-15 mA and an output power of 4-5 mW. Its operating voltage is 1.15-1.5 V, and its center wavelength is between 1520-1580 nm. The spectral width (RMS) is between 2-4 nm, and the beam divergence angle (parallel) is 24 degrees while the beam divergence angle (perpendicular) is 48 degrees. This high-performance and high-reliability laser is suitable for applications up to 2.5 Gbps in short haul links or local networks, including OC-3, OC-12, OC-24, and OC-48 applications.
