Optoelectronics has launched a new VCSEL LC transmitter optical sub assembly (TOSA), the TP85-LCP1F, for fibre channels, Gigabit Ethernet, and high-speed data communications. The 850 nm VCSEL is suitable for various sensor applications.
The TP85-LCP1F, manufactured by the Korean-based Optowell, includes an internal monitor photodiode to offer power control. The VCSEL LC TOSA offers a narrow divergence, non-astigmatic, circular beam that offers a coupled power of 500µW into a single 50/125 µm 0.20NA fibre.
The 850nm VCSEL operates under temperature ranging from -20°C to +85°C. The TOSA offers a maximum of 4.25 Gbps data rates, with 7mA operating current and 1.8V forward voltage. The infrared TP85-LCP1F is also available in SC TOSA, fibre pigtail, and TO-Can packages.
