The D2525P family of DFB laser modules is designed to be used with a lithium niobate external modulator (see Table 4). The laser module features a polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) pigtail, enabling it to be directly connected to a modulator without the need of a polarization controller. The PMF maintains the polarization of the output light to a consistent orientation. This allows the D2525P to be used as a CW light source for systems requiring extremely low chirp such as undersea or 10 Gbits/s systems. The module contains a multiquantum-well (MQW), distributedfeedback (DFB) laser. This device nominally has an output power of 10 mW. The wavelength of the laser can be temperature-tuned for more precise wavelength selection by adjusting the temperature of the internal thermoelectric cooler.
