Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser in ST
Optical Sub-Assembly
OPV315AT, OPV315BT, OPV315YAT, OPV315YBT
Features:
•
850 nm VCSEL technology
• High thermal stability
• Up to 2.5 Gbps
• Recommended for multimode fiber applications
• Microbead lens
• Pin out and attenuation options available on request
• Burned in for communication level reliability
• High optical coupling to MM fiber
• ST* style receptacle
Description:
The OPV315AT and OPV315BT are high performance 850nm VCSEL packaged for high speed communication
links. OPV315AT and OPV315BT combines all the performance advantages of a VCSEL with the addition of a
power monitor diode for precise control of optical power.
The OPV315YAT and OPV315YBT are identical electrically and optically and differ only in pin out. Refer to
mechanical drawings for details.
This product’s combination of features including high speed, high output power and concentric beam makes it an
ideal transmitter for integration into all types of data communications equipment.
Applications:
• Fibre Channel
• Gigabit Ethernet
• ATM
• VSR (Very Short Reach)
• Intra-system links
• Optical backplane interconnects
