2.488 Gb/s DFB Laser Module with Integral Optical Isolator Technical Data LSC2500 Features Description • Center Wavelength Between 1535 nm and 1565 nm • Modulation Capability up to 2.488 Gb/s • 30 dB Internal Optical Isolation • 25 Ω Impedance Matched • Wide Operating Temperature Range: -20°C to +65°C • Industry Standard Hermetic 14 PIN Butterfly Package LSC2500 laser modules are highly reliable fiber optic light sources operating in the 1550 nanometer band. The internal DFB lasers are based upon InGaAs ridge waveguide Multi Quantum Well technology and fabricated by the Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE) process, resulting in long lifetimes and modest threshold currents. Applications • • • • Telecommunications Fiber Optic Sensors Cable Television Military Communications and Control Systems • Instrumentation The LSC2500 package includes a photodiode for monitoring the laser output, a thermistor for monitoring laser heatsink temperature, and a Peltier effect thermoelectric cooler (TEC). A heatsink mounting flange is incorporated into the industry standard 14 PIN package. The LSC2500 also has 30 dB of optical isolation which is temperature controlled to maintain isolation over the full operating temperature range. Laser Safety Warning This device is a Class IIIb (3b) Laser Product. It may emit invisible laser radiation if operated with the fiber pigtail disconnected. To avoid possible eye damage do not look into an unconnected fiber pigtail during laser operation. Do not exceed specified operating limits. 5965-8213E (4/97) 559 LSC2500 Mechanical Outline Top View A S B ∅T U R H I C Back View F J M Side View MIN.
