BOOKHAM LC151B

Data Sheet
4 - 155 Mb/s Single-Mode OSC Laser, 1510 nm
LC151B
Specifically designed for use as a low speed out of band
optical service channel for optical amplifiers. The laser
is available in a low-inductance 14-pin butterfly package
with single-mode connectorized fiber-optic pigtail with a rated
peak output power of 2 mW. At 1510 nm, the LC151B-20
does not interfere with WDM traffic and operates outside
the normal EDFA gain region. The high reliability buried
hetero-structure DFB laser chip ensures the reliability of
the LC151B-20 over the entire range of recommended
operating conditions.
Features:
• Wavelength 1510 nm
• Designed to operate at 4 Mb/s - 155 Mb/s
• Low threshold, high reliability BHet laser chip
• Hermetically sealed 14 pin high speed
butterfly package
• High output power 2 mW minimum CW
• Internal InGaAs monitor photodiode
• Available with several optical connector options
• RoHS compliant
Applications:
• Optical Service Channel (OSC) applications in DWDM
transmission systems using optical amplifiers.

Instructions for Use
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. Operating
current should be less than 100 µA to prevent
selfheating errors.
Pin 3 Laser modulation (-) and bias
The data input (modulation) and bias are both applied
via this pin which has a nominal 25 Ohm
load impedance.
Pin 4 Monitor anode, Pin 5 Monitor cathode
The back facet monitor diode provides a mean power
reference for the laser and is normally operated with a
5 V reverse bias.
Pin 6 TEC (+), Pin 7 TEC (-)
Applying a positive voltage on pin 6 with respect to pin 7
3
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. Care should be taken to
avoid overheating the submount when driving the TEC in
this manner.
The TEC supply should be capable of delivering up to
1.2 A at 2.5 V.
Pin 8, 9, 11, 13 Case ground.
These pins must be grounded in all applications.
Pin 10, 14 N/C
These pins are not connected. They should be grounded
if possible.
Pin 12 Laser (+)
This pin provides the return path for the laser modulation
and bias circuits.
