18 GHz System Optiva Unamplified MW Transport DATASHEET | AUGUST 2012 SATCOM The EMCORE Optiva Microwave Fiber Optic Transport System is a family of SNMP managed fiber optic transmitter and receivers that provide high-performance 0.05-18 GHz transport within the Optiva modular platform. The units can be used to construct transparent links for antenna remoting and other high-dynamic-range applications. The broad bandwidth supports applications such as electronic warfare systems. Other applications include delay lines and signal processing systems. Applications The standard transmitter provides a single optical output with up to 10 dBm optical output power. EW Systems The system operates at a nominal wavelength of 1550 nm. Wavelength selected lasers on the ITU grid are also available to support multi-channel DWDM applications.

Low RIN Source Laser - Provides high dynamic range of >105 dB- Hz2/3 sub-octave. Microprocessor-Based Transmitter Control for Laser Bias, Modulator Bias & Link Gain - Provides consistent high performance operation and allows for modulator low- bias operation and higher SFDR. SNMP V.1 and RS-232 Monitor & Control Interface - Flexible user interface options. Compatible with EMCORE’s Modular Optiva Platform - Allows multiple format and frequency trans- port in a single chassis. -- Absolute Maximum Ratings Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of the datasheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.
