Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting
Laser in FC Optical Sub-Assembly
OPV314F, OPV314YF, OPV315F, OPV315YF
• 850 nm VCSEL technology, up to 2.5 Gbps data rate
• High thermal stability with Microbead lens
• High optical coupling to MM fiber with FC style receptacle
• Recommended for multimode fiber applications
• Burned in for communication level reliability
The OPV31XF and OPV31XYF are a high performance 850nm Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) packaged
for high speed communication links. OPV31XF combines all the performance advantages of a VCSEL with the addition of
a power monitor diode for precise control of optical power. The VCSEL is a current device assuming the forward voltage
drop, from 1.6 to 2.2 volts, is achieved.
The OPV31XF and OPV31XYF are electrically and optically identical, they differ only in pin out. Refer to the charts below.
The OPV315 devices have an attenuation coating on the interior surface of the lens. The coating reflects about 40% of the
light reducing noise in special applications, preventing overdriving of sensitive detectors and doubling monitor current.
These product’s include a combination of features including high speed with high output power and a concentric beam there
by making it an ideal transmitter for integration into all types of data communications equipment.
Applications include:
•
Fibre Channel
•
Gigabit Ethernet
• ATM
• VSR (Very Short Reach)
• Intra-system links
• Optical backplane interconnects.
