Data Sheet June 2001 269-Type 14xx nm DFB Pump Laser Module Description The 269-type DFB pump laser module represents a family of thermoelectrically cooled, high-power lasers. These devices achieve stable wavelength performance within the 1420 nm to 1510 nm range, over the full operating temperature range. They 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. The 269-type DFB pump laser module is designed as a continuous-wave (CW) optical pump source for erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. Features Low relative intensity noise (RIN) High-coupled rated output power up to 280 mW, CW Wide environmental range Field-proven packaging technology InGaAsP/InP high-power, strained multiple quantum-well (MQW), distributed-feedback (DFB) laser chip design Internal optical isolator (optional) Internal thermoelectric cooler (TEC) InGaAs PIN photodetector back-facet monitor Single-mode and polarization-maintaining fiber pigtails Compact, 14-pin butterfly package Industry compatible package and pinout Applications Raman pump modules (RPM), copropagating and counterpropagating Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) These new high-power DFB products represent a breakthrough in 14xx nm pump laser technology by integrating the beneficial characteristics of an external FBG laser design (such as stimulated Brillouin scattering suppression) with the superior relativeintensity noise (RIN) performance of a DFB laser. The combination of both characteristics is critical to enable copropagating Raman pumping, which distributes gain over the first few kilometers of the transmission fiber. The typical RIN value Agere Systems' DFB lasers is -158 dB/Hz, a major improvement over 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, quantum-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 hermetic environment, allows the device to achieve high-power operation over the extended temperature range of 0 C to 75 C. An internal InGaAs PIN photodiode, 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, hermetic butterfly package. Data Sheet June 2001 269-Type 14xx nm DFB Pump Laser Module 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 operational sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

Take proper precautions during both handling and testing. Follow guidelines such as EIA * Standard EIA 625. Agere Systems Inc. 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 k, capacitance = 100 pF) is widely used and, therefore, can be used for comparison purposes. The HBM ESD withstand voltage established for the 269-type laser pump module is 500 V. * EIA is a registered trademark of The Electronic Industries Association. 2 Agere Systems Inc.

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 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 in. (0.8 m), and the surface flatness must be better than 0.001 in. (25.4 m). 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. * A positive input into this pin cools the laser.
