1550 nm Fabry-Perot
Laser Diode
Description
FPL1055T
The FPL1055T 1550 nm Fabry-Perot Laser Diode is based on quantum well epitaxial layer growth and a
highly reliable ridge waveguide structure. This diode features high optical output power and slope
efficiency. The FPL1055T TO-56 header option is a Ø5.6 mm header, featuring an anode pin, cathode
pin, and an unused pin.
