Optical components

Finisar has available four 1310 nm optical components designed to meet the specifications of high-speed video applications.

Based on the SMPTE 424ME standard for 3 Gbps SDI (3G-SDI) data transmissions, these components consist of FP and DFB lasers and PIN or PIN+TIA receivers. The devices are designed for satellite and CATV broadcast equipment and modules.

The 1310 nm components are built with a laser and optical assembly, and are designed to withstand the test matrixes called for in the 3G-SDI standard.

The components simplify video equipment development by preserving signal integrity across links so engineers have more margin and therefore greater flexibility in focusing their design resources.

In addition, both pigtailed and bulkhead-mounted versions are available, giving engineers multiple options in designing broadcast equipment.

The company has released four components including the FP-1310-5I-50SMF-xx FP laser, DFB-1310-41-50SMF-xx DFB lasers, PIN-1310-50SMF-xx PIN photodiodes and a PIN-1310-21-LC PIN+TIA receiver.

Each component includes electrical flexible circuit or pin interface options, as well as robust pigtails which can be customised on length and connector type. The PIN-1310-21-LC PIN+TIA receiver is designed to be paired with the FP-1310-5l-LCA.
