The multimode laser diode allows service providers to extend triple-play service delivery to fibre customers located further away from the central office or the cable head-end.
Incorporating the Bookham buried hetrostructure laser, the technology has proven its reliability in the Bookham DWDM SFP module.

"The decision to make a commercially available Tosa follows our strategy of vertical integration: offering our customers a full range of products, from discrete optics to packaged modules and subsystems".
The Tosa has a transmission capability of 125Mbit/s to 5.3Gbit/s over 1600 to 6000ps/nm dispersion, with low penalty and high extinction ratio of over 10dB.
At an OC48 data rate it has a reach of up to 360km in the C band and 200km and the L band.
