DEFINITIONS
Twave:
Twave is the submount temperature at which the laser emission wavelength reaches the target wavelength with an accuracy of better
than:
λ
target
± 0.1 nm. This temperature is calculated during manufacturing according to: Twave = 25°C + (1/C)*(λ
target
-
λ
25°C
), where C is
the laser wavelength drift with temperature (in nm/°C).
Emitted wavelength drift vs Tcase:
Absolute value of maximum emitted wavelength deviation per unit of case temperature (°C) when
Tcase varies from min to max operating conditions. Wavelength is stabilized through the thermal regulation of the laser chip based on the
thermistor reading.
I
Pmean
:
Laser bias current (mA) allowing to reach the mean optical output power (Pmean).

SAFETY AND HANDLING
Safety and IEC.825 Classification
Take appropriate precautions to prevent undue exposure to naked eye. This product is classified Class 3A Laser Product according to
IEC.825. FDA/CDRH Class IIIb laser product. All versions are Class IIIb laser products per CDRH, 21 CFR 1040 Laser. Safety requirements
under accession number 9622256-00.
Handling
This product, in line with all similar devices, is sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Take precautions to prevent ESD; use wrist straps,
grounded work surfaces and recognized anti-static techniques when handling the laser. Handle the laser module by its package only, never
hold it by leads or pigtail.
For package mounting the following procedure should be carefully followed:
1. In order to achieve the ultimate thermal performance of the device, thermal paste can be usefully added on the support.
2. Tighten screws up to 200 mN/m - Do not exceed this mounting torque.
3. Assure that the leads are aligned and in contact with appropriate contact pads.
Care should be taken to avoid supply transient and over voltage. Over voltage above the maximum
specified in absolute maximum rating section (table 2) may cause permanent damage to the device.
