AOI Introduces 1310-nm Analog Lasers.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers Applied Optoelectronics Inc. (AOI AOI Area Of Interest AOI Automated Optical Inspection AOI Art of Illusion (3D modeling software) AOI Associated Oregon Industries AOI Angle Of Incidence AOI Age of Innocence (David Hamilton book, also a band) ) today announced the availability of three new analog 1310-nm lasers. These lasers are designed for analog transmission Analog transmission is a method of conveying voice, data, image, signal or video information using a continuous signal which varies in amplitude, phase, or some other property in proportion to that of a variable. over the 50 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. to 860 MHz frequency range used to transmit cable television signals. Additionally, they are well suited to antenna remoting applications. These cost-effective lasers are an ideal linear light source for intermediate-reach and long-reach analog applications. Like AOI's digital 1310-nm lasers, this new line features outstanding performance at elevated temperatures. Consequently, these lasers can be deployed in demanding environments without expensive cooling. All three lasers are available immediately. The DFB-1310-C5-2-A is a single-mode laser designed for CATV (Community Antenna TV) The original name for cable TV. It used a single antenna at the highest location in the community in order to deliver a quality signal to homes in areas with hilly terrain or other interference. forward path. The DFB-1310-C5-2-A2 is a single-mode laser designed for CATV return path and antenna remoting applications. Both lasers feature low RIN and a high side-mode suppression ratio. The FP-1310-C5-1.8-A is a cost-effective alternative for intermediate-reach and short-reach single-channel applications. Designed around a Fabry-Perot version of AOI's 1310-nm laser diode A semiconductor-based laser used to generate analog signals or digital pulses for transmission through optical fibers. Both laser diodes and LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are used for this purpose, but the laser diode generates a smaller beam that is easier to couple with the smaller core , this multimode laser features robust operation at high temperatures. "As historically analog systems, such as cable TV, expand and add additional bandwidth, the demand for high-performance analog lasers has also grown. AOI's new line of analog lasers meets this need," said Stefan Murry, AOI's marketing director. The devices are immediately available directly from AOI and are offered in hermetically her·met·ic also her·met·i·cal adj. 1. Completely sealed, especially against the escape or entry of air. 2. Impervious to outside interference or influence: sealed coaxial co·ax·i·al adj. Having or mounted on a common axis. coaxial Adjective 1. Electronics (of a cable) transmitting by means of two concentric conductors separated by an insulator fiber pigtailed packages, utilizing the TO-56 form factor. They are designed to be pin-compatible with industry-standard coaxial modules. In addition, the AOI devices require a low operating current at high temperatures and feature a high side-mode suppression ratio across a wide range of operating conditions.
