Description
The D2587P-Type DFB laser module is designed for use with an external lithium niobate modulator and also in applications where high power (20 mW) is required.
The use of an internal wavelength locker greatly enhances long-term reliability and reduces chirp and mode dispersion when used in conjunction with LN modulators at OC-192 data rates.
A companion device, the D2547P high-power DFB laser module, is also designed for use with a lithium niobate external modulator, but without the use of an internal wavelength locker.

Description (continued)
Principles of Operation (Controlled Wavelength)
The single-channel, wavelength-selected DFB (ILM) package contains internal wavelength-discriminating optics, i.e., two etalons and associated photodiodes. The output consists of analog signals suitable for controlling the electrical current of the thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and the DFB laser.
Controlled Feedback
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
An integral 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 –25 °C to +70 °C. The laser temperature is monitored by the internal thermistor, which can be used with external circuitry to control the laser chip temperature.
Controlled Power
An internal, InGaAs, PIN photodiode functions as the backfacet monitor. The photodiode monitors emission from the rear facet of the laser and, when used in conjunction 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.
Standard Package
The laser module is fabricated in a 14-pin, hermetic, metal/ ceramic butterfly package that incorporates a bias tee that separates the dc-bias path from the RF input. The RF input has a nominal 25 Ω impedance.
The laser module is equipped with Fujikura* polarizationmaintaining fiber (PMF). The fiber is PANDA type and is the same fiber that is used on the Agere Systems Inc. lithium niobate modulators. It has a mode field diameter of
10.5 μm, a cladding diameter of 125 μm ±3 μm, and a loose tube jacketed fiber 900 μm in diameter. Figure 1 shows the orientation of polarization in the fiber.
Agere Systems’ optoelectronic components are being qualified to rigorous internal standards that are consistent with Telcordia Technologies † TR-NWT-000468. All design and manufacturing operations are ISO § 9001 certified. The module is being fully qualified for central office applications.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

Handling Precautions
Power Sequencing
To avoid the possibility of damage to the laser module from power supply switching transients, follow this turn-on sequence:
1.All ground connections
2.Most negative supply
3.Most positive supply
4.All remaining connections
Reverse the order for the proper turn-off sequence.
Electrostatic Discharge
CAUTION: This device is susceptible to damage as a result of electrostatic discharge. Take proper precautions during both handling and testing. Follow guidelines such as JEDEC Publication No. 108-A (Dec. 1988).
Agere Systems employs a human-body model (HBM) for ESD-susceptibility testing and protection-design evaluation. ESD voltage thresholds are dependent on the critical parameters used to define the model. A standard HBM (resistance = 1.5 kΩ, capacitance = 100 pF) is widely used and, therefore, can be used for comparison purposes. The HBM ESD threshold presented here was obtained using these circuit parameters:

Mounting Instructions
The minimum fiber bend radius is 1.0 in. (25.4 mm)
To avoid degradation in performance, mount the module 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 flatness must be better than 0.001 in. (25.4 μm). Using thermal conductive grease is optional; however, thermal performance can be improved by up to 5% 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.
