10Gb/s Compact InP MZ Modulator
with DWDM Laser
LMC10NEG
Negative Chirp - High Power
The LMC10NEG product, containing the Bookham Ultra High
Power Strained Layer DFB laser chip and negative chirp InP
MZ modulator, has been specifically designed for use in 10
Gb/s high performance regional metro and long haul DWDM
systems. By co-packaging the laser, locker, modulator and MZ
Bias Control Tap in a package with the same footprint area as
the industry standard 14-pin, the LMC10 series provides
Mach-Zehnder performance at a price similar to lower
performance alternatives. The provision of the MZ bias control
tap offers the option of MZ bias point optimisation for best
transmitted optical waveform over life. The high output power,
integral wavelength locking and high extinction ratio provides
excellent OSNR to allow the device to be employed on
multi-span long haul links.
Features:
• Mean modulated power >+4dBm over life
and temperature
• Negative Chirp (up to 1600ps/nm applications)
• Co-planar differential RF drive ≤2.7 volts
• Suitable for 50GHz ITU applications with +/-20pm λ
accuracy over life
• Low Power Dissipation
• Industry Standard 14-pin footprint area
• Pins on one side to allow increased system density
• C and L band
• Unrivalled performance vs size
• Qualified to Telcordia GR-468 CORE
• RoHS 5/6 compliant
Applications:
• 10Gb/s Long Haul DWDM multi-span dispersion
compensated links
• Regional Metro single spans with no
dispersion compensation
• 10Gb/s Overlay for Metro Networks
• 2.5Gb/s Long Haul DWDM multi-span
non dispersion compensated links

Data Sheet
Using the LMC10NEG
The LMC10NEG can be used in two ways:
Mode 1.
With dynamic modulator arm DC bias control where the MZ bias control tap is used in a control loop to optimise the optical
crossing point over life. Details of operating in this mode are given in applications note AN0136.
Mode 2.
Fixed modulator arm DC bias where the tap function is not used. Backwards compatible with the LMC10NEH device.

Data Sheet
Pin Definitions
Pin 1 MZ data DC Bias input and Pin 2 MZ data-bar DC
Bias input
DC bias voltages for data and data-bar MZ arms. These pins
must be connected to a low noise negative DC voltage,
typically around -2V (WRT case). These voltages are defined
for each Tx in the deliverable data. A precision voltage source
must be used, which is capable of sourcing up to 10mA to
each pin. Refer to Bookham applications note AN0130 for
circuit implementation and filtering suggestions.
Pin 3
Connect to ground.
Pin 4 Bias Control Tap
The MZ bias control tap pin must be biased to -5V.
The supply should be regulated if the device is used
in mode 1 as the monitor diode responsivity is voltage
dependent.
Pins 5, 7 and 9 Ground
Package ground connections.
Pin 6 MZ Data-bar modulation input and Pin 8 MZ Data
modulation input
Operation is typically using differential electrical drive voltages
applied to both the Data and Data-bar MZ Modulator inputs.
Typical amplitude is 2.0V peak-to-peak. AC RF coupling must
be used.
Pin 10 TEC (-) and Pin 11 TEC (+)
The LMC10 contains a Peltier heatpump. Applying a negative
voltage on Pin 10 with respect to Pin 11 will cause the
internal optics to be cooled relative to the case temperature.
Reversing the applied voltage will cause the internal
structures to be heated. The heatpump must be used in
a feedback controlled circuit in conjunction with the
internal thermistor.
Pin 12 Laser Anode
The laser is operated with a forward bias current, the laser
cathode being connected internally to case ground.
Pin 13 Thermistor
The thermistor is used in the TEC control loop for keeping the
internal temperature at a constant value. It has a nominal
resistance of 10k Ohms at a temperature of 25ºC and is not
polarity sensitive, although one side of the thermistor is
connected to package ground. Operating current should be
limited to less than 100µA to prevent self heating errors.
The exact thermistor value is supplied with each Tx as
part of the deliverable test data to ensure the correct
operating wavelength.
Pin 14 Back Facet Monitor Diode Anode (Etalon)
The signal from this diode carries the spectral response of the
wavelength filter.
Pin 15 Back Facet Monitor Diode Common Cathode
Common connection for monitor diode cathodes.
Pin 16 Back Facet Monitor Diode Anode (Reference)
The signal from this diode is the reference signal and
indicates the power of the rear facet of the laser. The signals
from the reference and etalon monitor diodes are used in a
control loop to maintain the wavelength of the laser at the
defined lock point.
Operating the LMC10NEG
Control Schemes for the LMC10NEG
Arm DC Bias Voltage Control
A dynamic control scheme can be implemented to maintain
the bias points on the left and right arms of the MZ modulator
at the quadrature point. This will maintain the output pulse
train with a 50% eye crossing level. The control circuit needs
to track any over life change in the bias points, thereby
maintaining the 50% eye crossing condition.
Benefits of Using Control Schemes
The product can be used without the control scheme as
discussed above. But there are benefits of implementing
the control loop:
8
Maintaining the optical eye crossing to 50% through the life of
the product will minimise the variation in extinction ratio and
reduce variations in link dispersion penalty.
Summary
For more demanding applications at higher link lengths or
tighter link budgets the LMC10NEG may be used with a
dynamic control scheme which will provide MZ arm bias point
control for 50% optical eye crossing.
Use of the BCT in a control loop can offer improved optical
eye shape stability compared to open loop performance.
Data Sheet
Wavelength Locker for the LMC10NEG
Lockpoint
The wavelength locker for the LMC10NEG includes two photodiodes: the Reference photodiode provides a photocurrent
proportional to the laser chip facet power, and the Etalon photodiode provides a photocurrent related to wavelength (frequency).
In order to lock the LMC10NEG wavelength, a control circuit should be used which maintains the laser submount temperature
constant over life and then controls the wavelength by varying the laser forward current to keep the ratio of the etalon and
reference photodiode currents (Locking Ratio) constant. This may be achieved by keeping the discrimination value (LR x Iref) – Iet)
at zero, where LR is the target Locking Ratio.
Lockpoint
Refer to applications document AN0142 for further information on wavelength locking.

LMC10 Mounting Guidelines
The device must be attached to a heat-sink capable of
dissipating a minimum of 4W without exceeding the
maximum case temperature. The surface of the heat-sink
must be smooth (< 0.8 micron Ra) and flat (<24.8 microns
over the area and not convex in form). Attachment screws,
thermal interface compounds or interface pads may be used
but must not exert stress upon the device. Refer to Bookham
applications note AN0117.
Note on Maximum Ratings and Handling Precautions
It is the nature of this device that unprotected semi-conductor
junctions are connected directly to external package pins.
Protection of these junctions would have an adverse effect
on the performance of the device or the flexibility in its
application and use. The user is requested to observe the
‘Absolute Minimum and Maximum Ratings’ in order to
prevent damage or destruction of the device. In particular
forward biasing the modulator, attenuator or power monitor
junctions will lead to catastrophic damage if the current or
voltage limits are exceeded. These junctions are also sensitive
to ESD and electrical transients. The laser is similarly sensitive
to reverse bias, ESD and electrical transients. These can lead
to catastrophic device damage. The user is requested to
ensure that operation of any control or bias circuits do not
introduce electrical transients or adverse bias conditions
during switch-on, switch-off or calibration and set-up
routines. Appropriate ESD precautions are required in both
production and R&D environments.
