Abstract :
We present an eight channel DWDM transmitter (Octal DWDM Tx) module compatible with the low-form factor (5 mm height) packaging and temperature range (-40 C to 100 C) requirements for aerospace applications. This module was based on an innovative `narrow lambda tuning´ architecture that allows the use of low cost, commercially available laser components and efficient optical coupling through a wavelength combiner.
