NYDMD Series – DWDM Microwave DFB Laser Module

  • NYDMD series module is a directly modulated DFB laser that provides exceptional performance for linear fiber optics communications in very wide bandwidth applications. 
  • NYDMD’s linear fiber optic lasers are an excellent alternative to using coaxial cable systems to transmit 12 GHz or 18 GHz signals.
  • They offer significant improvements in the reliability of microwave communications networks by transmitting the RF signal in its original format.
  • As a result of these properties, laser products provide significant improvements in signal quality for a wide variety of applications including antenna remoting, telemetry, timing and reference signal distribution, measurement, and delay lines.
  • The NYDMD series laser built-in optical isolator, TEC, thermistor, laser diode chip, and monitor photodiode are hermetically sealed in a 7PIN butterfly package.
