Product Description
LK-NY13D module is DFB laser which is directly modulated, offering superior performance for linear fiber optic communication systems with extensive bandwidth requirements. LK-NY13D lasers are superior choice over coaxial cable systems for the transmission of high-frequency signals such as 12 GHz or 18 GHz.
These lasers enhance the reliability of microwave communication networks by ensuring the RF signal is transmitted in its native form. Due to these attributes, LK-NY13D lasers significantly enhance signal quality across a broad spectrum of applications, include remote antenna systems, telemetry, distribution of timing and reference signals, as well as measurement and delay line applications.
LK-NY13D lasers come with integrated components such as an optical isolator, a thermoelectric cooler (TEC), a thermistor, a laser diode chip, and a monitor photodiode, all of which are sealed in a 7-pin butterfly package to ensure hermetic protection.
