The device is packaged in a hermetically sealed 14-pin butterfly
package incorporating an isolator and monitor photodiode for
control of the power of the laser over life and all operating
conditions.
The module is tunable by means of the internal thermo-electric
cooler over four adjacent 100 GHz ITU WDM channels with a
case temperature of 70°C, or over two adjacent 100 GHZ
channels with a case temperature of 85°C
The device is available with a number of power options and
wavelength schemes, which are customizable to individual
customer specification.
Features:
• 2.5 Gb/s Operation
• Tunable over four separate channels at 100 GHz
channel spacing
• +/-95pm wavelength stability over life
• 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
• RoHS compliant

Instructions for use – LC25T
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 Monitor anode, Pin 5 Monitor cathode
The back facet monitor 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 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 0.9 A at 2.4 V.
Pin 8, 9, 11, 13 Case ground
These pins must be grounded in all applications.
Pin 10
This pin is not connected for the LC25T product and it should be grounded if possible.
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
This pin is not connected. It should be grounded if possible.

Trimmed lead option
Devices can be supplied with the leads trimmed to a length of 3.81 mm typ.
This option can be specified by adding a ‘K’ suffix after the reach option.

-20°C to 85°C Case Temperature, 2 x 100 GHz Tunable Operation
Where a maximum case temperature of +85°C is required, the LC25T can be tuned over 2 adjacent 100 GHz channels.
With the elevated case temperature, the submount temperature tuning range becomes 25°C to 50°C.
