— Typical 2.0 mW peak power coupled into single-
mode fiber
— 1.0 mW devices are also available
Hermetically sealed active components
Internal back-facet monitor
Qualification program: Telcordia Technologies
TA-983
Applications
Long-reach SONET OC-3/STM-1, OC-12/STM-4
systems
Telecommunications
Secure digital data systems
Benefits
Easily board mounted
Requires no lead bending
No additional heat sinks required

module
Highly efficient DFB-MQW laser structure allows for
lower threshold and drive currents, and reduced
power consumption
Description
The D571-type uncooled laser module consists of a
laser diode coupled to a single-mode fiber pigtail. The
device is available in a standard, 8-pin configuration
(see Figure 1 and/or Table 1) and is ideal for long-
reach (SONET) and other high-speed digital applica-
tions.
The laser diode is a narrow linewidth (<1 nm) DFB-
MQW single-mode laser and an InGaAs PIN photo-
diode back-facet monitor in an epoxy-free, hermetically
sealed package.

Description (continued)
The device characteristics listed in this document are
met at 2.0 mW output power. Higher- or lower-power
operation is possible. Under conditions of a fixed pho-
todiode current, the change in optical output is typically
±0.5 dB over an operating temperature range of
–40 °C to +85 °C.
This device incorporates the new Laser 2000 manufac-
turing process developed by the Optoelectronic unit of
TriQuint Semiconductor. Laser 2000 is a low-cost plat-
form that targets high-volume manufacturing and
tighter product distributions on all optical subassem-
blies. The platform incorporates an advanced optical
design that is produced on a highly automated produc-
tion line. The Laser 2000 platform is qualified for the
central office and uncontrolled environments, and can
be used for applications requiring high performance
and low cost.

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 operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended
periods can adversely affect device reliability.

Handling Precautions
CAUTION: This device is susceptible to damage as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Take proper
precautions during both handling and testing. Follow guidelines such as JEDEC Publication
No. 108-A (Dec. 1988).
TriQuint Semiconductor 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 can be used for comparison purposes.
