269-Type 14xx nm DFB Pump Laser Module
Description
The 269-type DFB pump laser module represents a
family of thermoelectrically cooled, high-power
lasers. These devices achieve stable wavelength
performance within the 1420 nm to 1510 nm range,
over the full operating temperature range. They are
designed as continuous-wave (CW) optical pump
sources for dense wavelength-division multiplexing
(DWDM) EDFA and Raman applications operating in
the C- and L-bands.
The 269-type DFB pump laser module is designed as a
continuous-wave (CW) optical pump source for erbium-doped
fiber amplifiers.

These new high-power DFB products represent a
breakthrough in 14xx nm pump laser technology by
integrating the beneficial characteristics of an external FBG laser design (such as stimulated Brillouin
scattering suppression) with the superior relativeintensity noise (RIN) performance of a DFB laser.
The combination of both characteristics is critical to
enable copropagating Raman pumping, which distributes gain over the first few kilometers of the transmission fiber. The typical RIN value Agere Systems’
DFB lasers is –158 dB/Hz, a major improvement over
comparable external FBG-stabilized lasers with a
typical RIN of –125 dB/Hz. Integrating wavelength
stabilization into the chip improves the stabilization
over operating temperature and thereby eliminates
the need for an external FBG .
The laser modules incorporate a high-power, quantum-well laser chip that achieves fiber powers up to
280 mW.
An integral thermoelectric cooler (TEC) stabilizes the
laser at room temperature and, combined with a hermetic environment, allows the device to achieve
high-power operation over the extended temperature
range of 0 °C to 75 °C. An internal InGaAs PIN photodiode, mounted behind the laser diode, functions
as the laser detector and monitors light emissions
from the rear facet of the laser.
The 269-type DFB module is offered in a 14-pin, hermetic butterfly package.

Handling Precautions
Electrostatic Discharge
CAUTION: This device is susceptible to damage as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Take proper
precautions during both handling and testing. Follow guidelines such as EIA * Standard EIA 625.
Agere Systems Inc. employs a human-body model (HBM) for ESD-susceptibility testing and protection-design evaluation. ESD voltage thresholds are dependent on the critical parameters used to define the model. A standard
HBM (resistance = 1.5 kΩ, capacitance = 100 pF) is widely used and, therefore, can be used for comparison purposes. The HBM ESD withstand voltage established for the 269-type laser pump module is ±500 V.

The base of the laser module (see Outline Diagram)
should be maintained at or below 75 °C (maximum)
during operation. Interfaces between the laser module
base and heat sink must be clean, and the use of a
thermal filler may be necessary.
Mounting Instructions
The minimum fiber bend radius is 1.0 in.
To avoid degradation in performance, mount the module on the board as follows:
1. Place the bottom flange of the module on a flat heat
sink at least 0.5 in. x 1.180 in. (12.7 mm x 30 mm)
in size. The surface finish of the heat sink should be
better than 32 µin. (0.8 µm), and the surface flatness must be better than 0.001 in. (25.4 µm). Using
thermal conductive grease is optional; however,
thermal performance may be improved if conductive
grease is applied between the bottom flange and
the heat sink.
* A positive input into this pin cools the laser.
