FIBER OPTICS
EMCORE’s Model 3955 DFB laser in TO-can offers a low cost solution for linear
fiberoptic links. These components can be cooled with external thermo-electric
coolers for high stability, or run without TEC’s to reduce power consumption. The
DFB laser in TO-can builds upon Ortel’s long history of high performance, leading
edge designs in CATV, CWDM, wireless, and high speed digital applications. The
laser diode chip is mounted on a compact hermetic TO-can assembly together
with monitor photodiode and isolator, for flexible integration into the pigtail
package configuration.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
1
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress
ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the
operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect
device reliability.

1. Absolute maximum data are limited to system design only; proper device performance is not guaranteed over rating
listed above. Operation beyond these maximum conditions may degrade device performance, lead to device failure, shorter
lifetime, and will invalidate the device warranty.

1. Slope efficiency is measured in a current range between I
th
+ 5 mA and I
th
+ 65 mA.
2. Linearity is calculated by first determining slopes of five sequential pairs of points along the linear portion of the
P
OC
vs. I
F
curve (η
1
, η
2
, ... , η
5
) in the drive current range (30mA and 80 mA). The difference between the maximum and
minimum of these slopes divided by the slope efficiency (defined as the slope of linear regression) defines Linearity.
