Description
The D372-type uncooled laser module consists of a
laser diode coupled to a single-mode fiber pigtail.
The device is available in a standard, 8-pin configu-
ration (see Figure 1 and/or Table 1) and is ideal for
long-reach (SONET) and other high-speed digital
applications.
The module includes a narrow linewidth (<1 nm),
DFB-MQW single-mode laser and an InGaAs PIN
photodiode back-facet monitor in a hermetically
sealed package.
This package is optimized for a 25
Ω
input imped-
ance and allows for dc biasing through an internal
bias T. A thermistor has been included for feedback
to board-level bias circuitry, if needed.

Description
(continued)
The device characteristics listed in this document are
met at 2.0 mW output power. Higher- or lower-power
operation is possible. Under conditions of a fixed
photodiode current, the change in optical output is typi-
cally
±
0.5 dB over an operating temperature range of
–40
°
C to +85
°
C.
This device incorporates the new laser 2000 manufac-
turing process from the Optoelectronic Products unit of
Agere Systems Inc.. Laser 2000 is a low-cost platform
that targets high-volume manufacturing and tighter
product distributions on all optical subassemblies. This
platform incorporates an advanced optical design that
is produced on one of the highly automated production
lines at the Opotelectronic manufacturing facility. The
laser 2000 platform is qualified for the central office and
uncontrolled environments, and can be used for appli-
cations requiring high performance and low cost.

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.

Reliability Information
Note, the D372-21 product does not undergo any routine dynamic testing.
A 2000-piece sample was tested at 2.5 Gbits/s for SMSR at 0
°
C. In that sample, 99.5% of the devices had SMSR
values greater than 30 dB. Within the failures, 90% were for inability to achieve an extinction ration of 10 dB or
more.
Surveillance samples are tested to verify that the failure rate has not changed,
