Agere Systems Inc.

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

Agere Systems Inc. Laser 2000 is a low-cost platform

that targets high-volume manufacturing and tighter

product distributions on all optical subassemblies. The

platform incorporates an advanced optical design that

is produced on a highly automated production 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.

* Rating varies with temperature.
