Description
(continued)
With this design configuration, tunable chirp transmis-
sion for maximum reach can be achieved. Also, bal-
anced drive voltages can produce zero-chirp operation.
Low drive voltages enable the use of IC chip drivers
such as the Agere Systems TMOD0110G, which sup-
ports a small and low-cost driver solution.
Controlled Feedback (D2625P)
The module contains an internal optical isolator that
suppresses optical feedback in laser-based, fiber-optic
systems. Light reflected back to the laser is attenuated
a minimum of 30 dB.
Controlled Temperature (D2525P)
An integral thermoelectric cooler (TEC) provides stable
thermal characteristics. The TEC allows for heating
and cooling of the laser chip to maintain a temperature
of 25 °C for case temperatures from –40 °C to +70 °C.
The laser temperature is monitored by the internal ther-
mistor, which can be used with external circuitry to con-
trol the laser chip temperature.
Controlled Power (D2525P)
An internal, InGaAs, PIN photodiode functions as the
back-facet monitor. The photodiode monitors emission
from the rear facet of the laser and, when used in con-
junction with control circuitry, can control optical power
launched into the fiber. Normally, this configuration is
used in a feedback arrangement to maintain consistent
laser output power.
Pin Information
1. A positive current through the thermoelectric heat pump cools the
laser.
2. For optimum performance, both leads should be grounded.
