Santur Announces Small Form-Factor Tunable Laser Products

Santur Corporation introduced smaller and lower cost versions of its widely tunable, DFB array-based laser products, which are designed into many transponders and linecards for both metro and long-haul DWDM systems. The products are capable of on-demand tunability across the C- or L-band at CW power levels up to 20 mW. Santur said its latest design is the size of a standard 12.7 x 30 mm butterfly package, enabling easier integration into the tight confines of today’s transponders and line-cards. Nevertheless, it contains the same basic internal building-blocks as the earlier products that have already demonstrated compliance to GR-468-CORE reliability standards. Santur is based in Fremont, California. http://www.santurcorp.com
