The new EML TOSA integrates an externally modulated DFB laser, optical isolator, photodiode for monitoring, thermistor and thermoelectric cooler, and is available in IEEE-compliant wavelengths. The TOSA includes a built-in modulator driver and offers output levels up to 4 dBm. The ROSA includes a high speed PIN photodiode and transimpedance amplifier, and realizes the wide dynamic range of -13 to +4 dBm. Network equipment manufacturers spent the past years working to develop 100 GbE offerings. The first generation of 100 GbE product is shipping today.
