In summary, an integrable tunable laser assembly (iTLA) is a small external laser that can be connected via optical fibre to an optical system (such as a transceiver). This iTLA must keep its footprint and cost low enough to allow for high-volume integration with the optical system. A tunable laser can be used to characterise devices, such as photonic integrated circuits.
A tunable laser can be used as a backup in optical fibre communications with wavelength division multiplexing if one of the fixed-wavelength lasers for the specific channels fails. Tunable lasers are critical in modern telecommunications systems because they can be used to fill different channel slots while reducing laser inventory.
They can also provide a path to reconfigurable WDM systems. Excimer lasers, gas lasers (such as CO2 and He-Ne lasers), dye lasers (liquid and solid state), transition metal solid-state lasers, semiconductor crystal and diode lasers, and free electron lasers are examples of tunable lasers.
The Global Micro iTLA market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
New Coherent Micro-iTLA Avago Technologies introduces the AFCU-UITLAXX, a new micro-integrated tunable laser assembly (Micro-ITLA) device. The device is a high-performance, narrow-linewidth Micro-ITLA component intended for use in both transmission and local oscillator lasers in coherent dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) systems.

The device is a high-performance, narrow-linewidth Micro-ITLA component intended for use in both transmission and local oscillator lasers in coherent dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) systems.
The new Micro-ITLA device, based on Avago’s proprietary external cavity laser (ECL) technology and proven indium phosphide (InP) and silica-on-silicon chip technology and packaging platform, delivers a very narrow linewidth, low phase noise, and superior frequency accuracy, improving system performance by reducing signal to noise penalties.
Because there are no moving parts, the device has excellent operational shock and vibration resistance.The new Micro-ITLA device has a high optical output power, off-grid tuning capability, a gridless channel plan, and in-operation wavelength and power adjustment capability, making it suitable for applications using the 100G PM-QPSK and 200G 16-QAM modulation formats.
