Description
The D370-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 configuration
(see Figure 1 and/or Table 1) and is ideal for long-haul
(SONET) and other digital applications.
The module includes a multiquantum-well Fabry-Perot
(MQW F-P) laser and an InGaAs PIN photodiode back-
facet monitor in an epoxy-free, hermetically sealed
package.
Eight-pin package suitable for SONET/SDH applica-
tions

The device characteristics listed in this document are
met at 1.0 mW output power. Higher- or lower-power
operation is possible. Under conditions of a fixed pho-
todiode current, the change in optical output is typically
±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
TriQuint Semiconductor. Laser 2000 is a low-cost plat-
form that targets high-volume manufacturing and tight
product distributions on all optical subassemblies. This
platform incorporates an advanced optical design that
is produced on TriQuint’s highly automated production
lines. The laser 2000 platform is qualified for the central
office and uncontrolled environments, and can be used
for applications 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 pe-
riods can adversely affect device reliability.

Handling Precautions
CAUTION: This device is susceptible to damage as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Take proper
precautions during both handling and testing. Follow guidelines such as JEDEC Publication
No. 108-A (Dec. 1988).
TriQuint Semiconductor employs a human-body model (HBM) for ESD-susceptibility testing and protection-design
evaluation. ESD voltage thresholds are dependent on the critical parameters used to define the model. A standard
HBM (resistance = 1.5 kΩ, capacitance = 100 pF) is widely used and can be used for comparison purposes.
