IEEE-based CWDM4 wavelengths of 1271/1291/1311/1331 nm are available. The performance-based operating temperature range is from 20°C to 70°C for the purpose of uncooled operation of the optical transceiver. Provides high optical power for a variety of applications from DR to FR to LR. Ara features eight 200Gbps/channel PAM4 host electrical interfaces, and an octal 200Gbps/lane PAM4 optical interface with integrated high-swing laser-modulator. MACOM provides high sensitivity photodiodes for today's demanding optical communications that service telecommunications, PON, 5G, Data Centers and Aerospace and Defense. But does it actually deliver? Is it actually good? Or is it just cheap garbage? We tested it. We engraved 500+ items with it. ✅ **Yes. Use these 13XX nm laser diode chips in high-speed uncooled transceivers based on NRZ or PAM4 (four-level) modulation, available at all four O-band CWDM wavelengths. Proprietary designs enable operation using PAM4 modulation protocols in 50 /100G applications.
