10Gb/s Compact InP MZ Modulator
with DWDM Laser
LMC10ZEG
Zero Chirp - High Power
The LMC10ZEG product, containing the Bookham Ultra High
Power Strained Layer DFB laser chip and Zero chirp InP MZ
modulator, has been specifically designed for use in 10 Gb/s
high performance regional metro and long haul C band
DWDM systems. By co-packaging the laser, locker, modulator,
VOA 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 internal optical attenuator allow
fibre power stabilisation over life and temperature. 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:
• Variable mean modulated optical power range of
0 to -10dBm
• Zero Chirp +/-0.2 alpha
• Co-planar differential RF drive ≤3.0 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
• Unrivalled performance vs size
• Integrated VOA
• Qualified to Telcordia GR-468 CORE
• RoHS 5/6 compliant
Applications:
• Long Haul DWDM multi-span dispersion
compensated links
• Regional Metro single spans with no
dispersion compensation

Pin Definitions
Pin1 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 VOA control pin.
VOA control pin. A negative DC voltage (WRT case) between
0V to -8V is applied to pin 3 to control the Variable Optical
Attenuator (VOA). The VOA can be used in a control loop with
an external power monitor to provide continuous optical
power out of the optical fiber. Alternatively the VOA can be
used in open loop control, set to a SOL optical power value
with the specified range.
Pin 4 Unused pin.
Unused pin, Recommended that this pin is connected to
-5V nominal.
Pin 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.
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 structure
to be heated. The heatpump must be used in a feedback
controlled circuit in conjunction with the internal thermistor.
8
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 photodiode carries the spectral response
of the wavelength filter.
Pin 15 Back Facet Monitor Diode Common Cathode.
Common connection for the monitor diode cathodes.
Pin 16 Back Facet Monitor Diode Anode (Reference).
The signal from this photodiode is the reference signal and is
proportional to the power emitted from the rear facet of the
laser. The signal from the reference and etalon monitors are
used in a control loop to maintain the wavelength of the laser
at the defined lock point.
Data Sheet
Wavelength Locker for the LMC10ZEG
Lockpoint
The wavelength locker for the LMC10ZEG 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 LMC10ZEG 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. 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 document 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.
