Description

The 269-type DFB pump lase r module repres en ts a

family of thermoelectrically cooled, high-power

lasers. These devices achieve stable wa velength

performance within the 1420 nm to 1510 nm range,

over the full operating temperature range. The y are

designed as continuous-wave (CW) optical pump

sources for dense wavelength-division multiplexing

(DWDM) EDFA and Raman applications operating in

the C- and L-bands.

These new high-power DFB products represent a

breakthrough in 14xx nm pump laser technology by

integrating the beneficial characteristics of an exter-

nal FBG laser design (such as stimulated Brillouin

scattering suppression) with the superior relative-

intensity noise (RIN) performance of a DFB laser.

The combination of both characteristics is critical to

enable copropagating Raman pumping, which dis-

tributes gain over the first few kilometers of the trans-

mission fiber. The typical RIN value Agere Systems’

DFB lasers is –158 dB/Hz, a major improvement ov er

comparable external FBG-stabilized lasers with a

typical RIN of –125 dB/Hz. Integrating wavelength

stabilization into the chip improves the stabilization

over operating temperature and thereby eliminates

the need for an external FBG .

The laser modules incorporate a high-power, quan-

tum-well laser chip that achieves fiber powers up to

280 mW.

An integral thermoelectric cooler (TEC) stabilizes the

laser at room temperature and, combined with a her-

metic environment, allows the device to achieve

high-power operation ov er the e xtended temperature

range of 0 °C to 75 °C. An internal InGaAs PIN pho-

todiode, mounted behind the laser diode, functions

as the laser detector and monitors light emissions

from the rear facet of the laser.

The 269-type DFB module is offered in a 14-pin, her-

metic butterfly package.

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 operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended

periods can adversely affect device reliability.

Mounting and Connections

CA UTION: This device is susceptible to damage as

a result of electrostatic discharge.

Proper precautions should be taken

during both handling and testing.

The base of the laser module (see Outline Diagram)

should be maintained at or below 75 °C (maximum)

during operation. Interfaces between the laser module

base and heat sink must be clean, and the use of a

thermal filler may be necessary.

Mounting Instructions

The minimum fiber bend radius is 1.0 in.

To avoid degradation in performance, mount the mod-

ule on the board as follows:

1. Place the bottom flange of the module on a flat heat

sink at least 0.5 in. x 1.180 in. (12.7 mm x 30 mm)

in size. The surface finish of the heat sink should be

better than 32 µin. (0.8 µm), and the surface flat-

ness must be better than 0.001 in. (25.4 µm). Using

thermal conductive grease is optional; however,

thermal performance may be improved if conductive

grease is applied between the bottom flange and

the heat sink.

2. Mount four #2-56 screws with Fillister heads

(M2-3 mm) at the four screw hole locations ( see

Outline Diagram). The Fillister head diameter must

not exceed 0.140 in. (3.55 mm). Do not apply more

than 1 in./lb. of torque to the screws.
