SEPTEMBER 21, 2006 -- Syntune AB (search for Syntune), a developer of single-chip tunable lasers and transmitters, has announced the availability of the S3600, an MSA-compliant integrable tunable laser assembly (ITLA).
The S3600 is a full-band-tunable assembly in a compact, standardized form factor designed for incorporation into a 300-pin transponder or DWDM line card. The S3600 fully meets the OIF MSA that details the communication protocol, electrical and mechanical interface, power supply, as well as optical specifications for use in telecommunications equipment operating in the C- or L-band, the company says.
Syntune's patented monolithic tunable laser design minimizes size, power consumption, and cost while still allowing the fastest possible tuning speeds, the company asserts. The S3600 operates between -5 and 75 degrees Celsius with a maximum power consumption of less than 4.5 W and includes additional features such as SBS suppression dither, TxTrace, off-grid tuning, and "in-operation" adjustable transmit output power. Fault detection and intervention are provided along with wavelength, temperature, bias, and power monitors and alarms.
"It is clear that the operators are looking for flexibility in their networks to meet current and future bandwidth requirements," said Patrik Evaldsson, CEO of Syntune. "The S3600 not only meets all the current network requirements, but will also accommodate the agile networks of the future."
