Description
The transmitter module is intended for use at SDH and SONET bit rates. The
device meets all present requirements in the ITU-T (G.957, G.958) and
Bellcore (GR-253-CORE) recommendations.
The single silicon IC is used as a laser driver, modulator and automatic power
control. To ensure a proper laser operation over the wide temperature range
and life of operation the average optical output power is controlled. The laser
bias is externally accessible for monitoring of the performance. A power
alarm is activated when the average optical power cannot be maintained
within specification. A laser shut-down is also provided according to SDH/
SONET requirements.
To provide a constant operating operating temperature for the laser, a
thermoelectric cooler is included. The drive circuitry for the cooler is espe-
cially designed to minimize power consumption and allows a very compact
product.
