Offering multiple output power options and SONET/SDH com-
patibility, the C48-Type 2.5 Gb/s Cooled Laser Transmitters are
manufactured in a 24-pin plastic DIP with a single-mode fiber
pigtail.
Description
The C48-type 2.5 Gb/s cooled laser transmitters are
designed for use in transmission systems and high-
speed data communication applications. The transmit-
ter operates at the SONET OC-48 rate, as well as the
ITU-T SDH rate of STM-16. The device supports two
wavelengths. The second wavelength is selectable via
pin 10.
The transmitters meet all present
Telcordia Technolo-
gies
TM
GR-253-CORE requirements and the ITU-T
G.957 and G.958 recommendations. They are also ide-
ally suited for extended-distance data and networking
applications.
Manufactured in a 24-pin DIP, the transmitter incorpo-
rates a hermetic multiquantum well (MQW) isolated
1550 nm digital distributed feedback (DFB) laser
(D2526 versions), an InGaAs PIN photodiode back-
facet monitor, and a GaAs laser driver IC. The unit
uses two power supplies. The laser transmitter
requires 5 V, and the thermoelectric cooler (TEC)
requires 3.3 V. The clock may be enabled for those
applications where jitter is critical.
Pin information is listed in Table 1.

Transmitter Processing
The transmitter can withstand normal wave soldering
processes. The complete transmitter module is not her-
metically sealed; therefore, it should not be immersed
in, or sprayed with, any cleaning solution or solvents.
The process cap and fiber pigtail jacket can deform at
temperatures greater than 85 °C. The transmitter pins
can be wave-soldered at a maximum temperature of
250 °C for 10 seconds.
Installation Considerations
Although the transmitter has been designed with rug-
gedness in mind, care should be used during handling.
The optical connector should be kept free from dust,
and the process cap should be kept in place as a dust
cover when the device is not connected to a cable. If
contamination is present on the optical connector, the
use of canned air with an extension tube should
remove any debris. Other cleaning procedures are
identified in the
Cleaning Fiber-Optic Assemblies
Tech-
nical Note (TN95-010LWP).
Connector Options
The standard fiber-optic pigtail is an 8
µm
core single-
mode fiber in a 0.036 in. (914
µm)
diameter, tight-buff-
ered outer jacket. The standard length is 39 in. ± 4 in.
(1 m ± 10 cm) and is terminated with an FC/PC,
SC/PC, LC, or MU optical connector. Other connector
options may be available on special order. Please con-
tact your Account Manager at CyOptics for ordering
information.
1. Laser back-facet (pin 2) and bias alarm functions (pin 3) are cus-
tomer-use options that are not required for normal operations of
the transmitter and are normally used during manufacture and for
diagnostics. Pin 3 output will optionally be either an analog bias
monitor (default) or a digital logic signal (LDA). (See Table 2.)
2. Pins designated no user connection (NUC) must
not
be tied to
ground or any other circuit potential.
3. When logic 0, the nominal channel wavelength (n) is selected;
when logic 1, the n – 1 channel wavelength is selected.
4. V
EE
is not used. This pin is NUC. The V
EE
labeling is maintained
for MSA purposes.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are abso-
lute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess
of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended
periods can adversely affect device reliability.

1. Inputs are ac-coupled into an equivalent input impedance of 50
Ω.
2. Single-ended or differential operation may used. If the inputs are driven single-ended, the unused inputs must be terminated in 50
Ω.
3. Clocked operation is optional. For clocked operation, pin 5 must be a logic 0. With clocked operation, the optical output changes state with
the rising edge of the input clock signal.
4. If left unselected, clocked operation will be selected.
5.
λ
N
is the ITU center wavelength, where N is the ITU frequency product designator ranging from 17 to 61. For example, if N = 23, then
λ
N
= 1558.98 nm (f
N
= 192.3 THz) and
λ
N – 1
= 1559.79 nm (f
N – 1
= 192.2 THz).
6. Deviation due to temperature variation detected by the thermistor.
7. This voltage is measured from pin 2 to GND.
8. Frequency range: 100 kHz—2 GHz.
9. At frequency of 2.5 GHz.
