Fujitsu Quantum Devices and Sumitomo Electric Industries have expanded their multisource agreement (MSA) for a 10Gbit/s transmission laser diode (LD) module. The MSA, which was originally announced in March 2002, defines a standard for 1.55-micron-wavelength distributed-feedback laser diode monolithically integrated with electro absorption modulator mounted onto the industry's smallest-in-class metal ceramic package with a driver IC and transmits data at speeds of 10Gbit/s in compliance with ITU-T G.691 and Telecodia GR-253-CORE. In response to growing requests from the customers, the MSA specifications were defined in further detail, and new product types, including direct modulation type, were added to increase the ease of use for the designers of system equipment and optical transceivers and transponders.
In addition, NEC Compound Semiconductor Devices, NTT Electronics and Samsung Electronics have joined the MSA.
The growing number of supporters of the MSA ensures stable availability of compatible products to the customers.
Modules will be displayed on the exhibition booths of SEI and NEC Compound semiconductor devices at Richardson this week at ECOC 2002 in Copenhagen.
