Description
The C488-Type 2.5 Gbits/s Laser Transmitters are
designed for use in transmission systems and high-
speed data communication applications. The trans-
mitter operates at the SONET OC-48 rate as well as
the ITU-T SDH rate of STM-16. The device supports
four wavelengths and uses an RS-232 interface to
control various transmitter functions, including aver-
age optical power, wavelength, and fine-power. In
addition, the interface allows access to the alarm and
monitoring outputs as well as the unit’s serial num-
ber.
The transmitters meet all present
Telcordia Technolo-
gies
* GR-253-CORE requirements and the ITU-T
G.957 and G.958 recommendations. They are also
ideally suited for extended-distance data and net-
working applications.
The C488 Transmitter features a 1.5
µ
m laser with an
electroabsorptive modulator and an integrated stabi-
lizer. The device is capable of 360 km or 640 km
transmission at 2.5 Gbits/s in DWDM systems at a
channel spacing of 50 GHz or less. By integrating the
modulator with the laser chip, the device offers a
compact, cost-effective solution for extended-reach
transmissions.

Description
(continued)
The versatile C488-Type transmitters are available at
wavelengths compatible with the ITU-T wavelength
standards at 200 GHz, 100 GHz, and 50 GHz. The
package also contains a thermoelectric cooler (TEC),
thermistor, back-facet monitor, and optical isolator. The
laser transmitter requires 5 V and –5.2 V power sup-
plies; the TEC operates on 3.3 V. The clock can be
enabled for those applications where jitter is critical.

Transmitter Processing
The transmitter can withstand normal wave soldering
processes. The complete transmitter module is not her-
metically sealed; therefore, it should not be immersed
in or sprayed with any cleaning solution or solvents.
The process cap and fiber pigtail jacket can deform at
temperatures greater than 85
°
C. The transmitter pins
can be wave-soldered at a maximum temperature of
250
°
C for 10 seconds.
Installation Considerations
Although the transmitter has been designed with rug-
gedness in mind, care should be used during handling.
The optical connector should be kept free from dust,
and the process cap should be kept in place as a dust
cover when the device is not connected to a cable. If
contamination is present on the optical connector, the
use of canned air with an extension tube should
remove any debris. Other cleaning procedures are
identified in the
Cleaning Fiber-Optic Assemblies
Tech-
nical Note (TN95-010LWP).
* Laser back-facet and bias alarm functions are customer-use
options that are not required for normal operations of the transmit-
ter and are normally used during manufacture and for diagnostics.
The output will optionally be either a logic signal or an analog volt-
age. All alarm, select, and enable signals are active-high.
Connector Options
The standard fiber-optic pigtail is an 8
µ
m core single-
mode fiber in a 0.036 in. (914
µ
m) diameter, tight-buff-
ered outer jacket. The standard length is 39 in.
±
4 in.
(1 m
±
10 cm) and is terminated with an optical connec-
tor.

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.

1. Inputs are ac-coupled internally into an equivalent input impedance of 50
Ω
.
2. Single-ended or differential operation may used. If the inputs are driven single-ended, the unused inputs must be terminated in 50
Ω
.
3. Clocked operation is optional. For clocked operation, pin 5 must be a logic 1. With clocked operation, the optical output changes state with
the rising edge of the input clock signal.
4. Deviation due to temperature variation detected by the thermistor.

With clocked operation, the optical output changes state with the rising edge of the input clock signal.
