Metro Core/DWDM
X5 and Z5 Modulator (PDF, 0.27 MB)
The JDSU Agile Optical Components family includes modulators, switches, attenuators and tunable filters. These products provide the basis for spectrally efficient DWDM transmission utilizing dispersion tolerant modulation, channel monitoring, wavelength switching, remote power control and dynamic channel selection. They support a wide range of flexible functionalities at lower operational expenses for the Agile Optical Network. In addition, we have a complete line of tunable lasers assemblies and sub-assemblies in our Agile Transmission Module family.
JDSU X5 and Z5 single drive 10 Gb/s modulators with integrated photodiode are ideally suited for use in long reach (LR)/ very long reach (VR) Metro applications as well as in long haul (LH) transmission. The X5 is a fixed zero-chirp solution and the Z5 is a fixed ±0.7 chirp solution, both packaged identically. The small package form factor makes the X5/Z5 compatible with the 300 pin MSA transponder footprint.
The X5 and Z5 modulators operate over the C and L band. Their low drive voltages make them compatible with low power dissipating driver solutions such as GaAs driver technology. In addition to providing bias control feedback, the new enhanced photodiode is capable of power monitoring for control of the transmitter’s modulated output power.
