2.5 Gb/s Buried Het
4x100GHz Tunable Laser
with Etalon Stabilisation
and 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 locking optics to lock
and stabilise wavelength and power of the laser over life.
The module is tunable by means of the internal thermo-electric
cooler over four adjacent 100 GHz ITU WDM channels.
The device is available with a number of power options
and wavelength schemes which are customizable to individual
customer specification. The internal etalon wavelength
stabilisation and low chirp performance makes this product
compliant with 50GHz optical channel spacing.

Instructions for use – LC25ET
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. 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 + 10 Monitor anodes, Pin 5 Common Monitor cathode
Monitor diodes are arranged in the package such that they give an equal monitor current when the laser wavelength
is matched to the ITU grid. A reverse bias must be applied equally across each of the monitors, this is commonly achieved
by applying 10 V to Pin 5.
Pin 6 TEC (+), Pin 7 TEC (-)
Applying a positive voltage on pin 6 with respect to pin 7 causes the internal submount to be cooled relative to the case
temperature. Reversing the polarity raises the submount temperature relative to the case. The TEC supply is capable
of delivering up to 1.0 A at 2.4 V.
Pin 8, 9, 11, 13 Case ground
These pins must be grounded in all applications.
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. Ground it, if possible.
