1.3-/spl mu/m uncooled DFB laser-diode module with a coupled differential feed for 10-Gb/s ethernet applications

A coaxial 10-Gb/s 1.3-/spl mu/m distributed feedback (DFB) laser-diode module with a coupled differential feed has been developed. The differential cascaded feed with the characteristic impedance of 100 /spl Omega/, which consists of a 140-/spl Omega/ ground-signal-signal-ground (GSSG) leads, a small-sized 60-/spl Omega/ feed-through, and a 140-/spl Omega/ wire-bonding pad, provides less sensitivity to the lead length. Integrating with 25-/spl Omega/ matching resistances and a 60-/spl Omega/ differential microstrip line, whose length corresponds to one eighth of wavelength at 7 GHz, gives wide-band impedance matching between the feed and the laser diode portion with small power loss. Experiment shows good return loss of greater than 9 dB at 10 GHz, and small change of bit error rate (BER) up to the lead length of 4 mm. With a newly developed 250-/spl mu/m cavity laser chip, we have demonstrated stable eye diagrams with the mask margins of 31 and 29% at case temperature of 0 and 85/spl deg/C, respectively.
