Data Sheet 2.5 Gb/s Buried Het 4x100GHz Tunable Laser with Etalon Stabilisation and extended reach option LC25ET This laser module employs the Bookham gain coupled SLMQW buried heterostructure DFB laser chip, and has been designed specifically for use in Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) 2.5 Gb/s long distance optical fibre trunk systems. The device is packaged in a hermetically sealed 14-pin butterfly package incorporating an isolator and locking optics to lock and stabilise wavelength and power of the laser over life. The module is tunable by means of the internal thermo-electric cooler over four adjacent 100 GHz ITU WDM channels. The device is available with a number of power options and wavelength schemes, which are customizable to individual customer specification. The internal etalon wavelength stablilisation and low chirp performance makes this product compliant with 50GHz optical channel spacing. Features: • 2.5 Gb/s Operation • Tunable over four separate channels at 100 GHz channel spacing • Integrated wavelength locking optics • Entire C band ITU wavelengths available (1528 to 1563 nm) • Narrow spectral line-width • Hermetically sealed 14-pin butterfly package with optical isolator • Internal TEC with precision NTC thermistor • Extended reach performance up to 360 km with low dispersion penalty • 50GHz optical channel spacing compliant for interlay or future upgrade • RoHS compliant Applications: • Optical Service Channel (OSC) applications in DWDM transmission systems using optical amplifiers. 1 Data Sheet Parameters Parameter Conditions Min Threshold current (Ith) Slope efficiency 2 mW 3 mW 4 mW High Power RF input reflection coef (S11) [1] Typ Max Unit 10 22 mA 0.09 0.13 0.17 0.43 mW/mA mW/mA mW/mA mW/mA -10 dB 1.8 V 1563 nm 2 dB 0.6 nm 0.04 0.06 0.08 0.143 [2] Forward voltage 1.3 Peak wavelength (λp) [3] Dispersion penalty [4] Time averaged spectral line width 1527 -20 dB Side-mode suppression 0.4 34 Optical rise/fall time 40 [5] Monitor photo currents 40 250 Monitor dark current Thermistor resistance ∆T = 64°C Heatpump current ∆T = 64°C Heatpump voltage Change of λ with laser temp.

Connections Pin # Function Pin # Function 1 Thermistor 8 Case ground 2 Thermistor 9 Case ground 3 Laser DC bias (-) 10 Monitor long anode (-) 4 Monitor short anode (-) 11 Laser case ground 5 Monitor cathode (+) 12 Laser modulation (-) 6 TEC (+) 13 Laser case ground 7 TEC (-) 14 N/C Instructions for use – LC25ET Pin 1 and Pin 2 Thermistor The thermistor is used in a control loop in conjunction with the thermo-electric cooler to maintain the laser submount temperature at the required value for wavelength. Operating current should be less than 100 µA to prevent self-heating errors. Pin 3 Laser DC bias (-) Laser bias current (negative with respect to package ground) is applied via this pin which forms one side of the bias-T connection to the laser cathode. Pin 4 +10 Monitor anodes, Pin 5 Monitor cathode Monitor diodes are arranged in the package such that they give an equal monitor current when the laser wavelength is matched to the ITU grid. A reverse bias must be applied equally across each of the monitors, this is commonly achieved by applying 10 V to Pin 5. Pin 6 TEC (+), Pin 7 TEC (-) Applying a positive voltage on pin 6 with respect to pin 7 will cause the internal submount to be cooled relative to the case temperature. Reversing the polarity will raise the submount temperature relative to the case. The TEC supply should be capable of delivering up to 1.0 A at 2.4 V. Pin 8, 9, 11, 13 Case ground These pins must be grounded in all applications. Pin 12 Laser modulation (-) The data input (modulation current) is applied via this pin which is a nominal 25 Ohm impedance coplanar line. For 10mW applications the end of life modulation current is 90mA maximum. For all other applications 60mA maximum modulation current should be provisioned. Pin 14 N/C 4 This pin is not connected. It should be grounded if possible.
