4x100GHz Tunable
Laser with extended
reach option
This laser module employs the Bookham Technology gain
coupled SLMQW buried heterostructure DFB laser chip,
and has been designed specifically for use in Wavelength
Division Multiplexed (WDM) 2.5 Gb/s long distance optical
fibre trunk systems.
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.

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.

has the following four channels:
1545.32 nm
1546.12 nm
1546.92 nm
1547.72 nm
The high power option provides 10 mW peak power at 175 km or 7 mW peak power
over 360 km.
E.g.
LC25T4532BA-C28
is a 10 mW 1545.32 to 1547.72 nm device with an
SC connector for use in a 175 km application.
E.g.
LC25T4532BB-C28
is a 7 mW 1545.32 to 1547.72 nm device with an
SC connector for use in a 360 km application.
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.
E.g.
LC25T4532BBK-C28
is a 7 mW 1545.32 nm device with an SC connector
and a lead length of 3.81mm, for use in a 360 km application.
-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.
