EMCORE TTX1994
1.0 Introduction
The EMCORE TTX1994 Full Band Integrable Tunable Laser Assembly [called hereafter
the EMCORE TTX1994] can be used for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing
(DWDM) optical transceivers and DWDM discrete line card designs.
For information on the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) Integrable Tunable Laser
Assembly (ITLA) Multi Source Agreement (MSA) that applies to the TTX1994 Tunable
Laser, see version 1.0 of the following document the OIF-ITLA-MSA-01.1 of
November 22, 2005, which can be downloaded from the following URL:

2.0 Product Overview
The EMCORE TTX1994 integrates the EMCORE tunable laser, which consists of a cooled
external-cavity diode laser (ECDL). The ECDL uses thermally tuned etalon filters to
achieve single-mode operation at selectable wavelengths. The EMCORE tunable laser
has no moving parts and shares many design elements of standard Distributed
Feedback Lasers (DFB).
The EMCORE TTX1994 has low Relative Intensity Noise (RIN), a high Side-Mode
Suppression Ratio (SMSR), a narrow linewidth, and excellent wavelength accuracy. The
product complies with the stringent requirements of 300-pin Multi-Source Agreement
(MSA) transponders and discrete line cards.
The EMCORE TTX1994 allows full control and monitoring (as defined in the OIF-ITLA-
MSA) through a LVTTL RS-232 serial interface. The tunable assembly has a typical
power dissipation of 3.5 W, with an end-of-life maximum of 5W. Available features
include Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) suppression dithering, TxTrace, off-grid
tuning, and in-operation adjustable transmit output power.
For health monitoring, fault detection, and intervention designs, the EMCORE TTX1994
fully implements monitors and alarms typically found on 300-pin transponders (for
wavelength, temperature, power and bias).
The following operating specifications were used in the design of this product:
ITU-T G.692
Telcordia GR-253
Telcordia GR-63 CORE NEBS
Telcordia GR-468 CORE

NOTE: The tunable laser consists of backside external cavity tuning optics and DFB-like optics. The diode gain device
is coated with an anti-reflection coating on the cavity-side facet so as to transmit light into the external laser cavity.

The EMCORE TTX1994 is designed for metro and long haul DWDM applications at user-
defined grid spacing down to 25GHz. The performance of the laser allows high-
performance, extended transmission distances depending on the modulation format,
optical amplifier noise figure, amplifier spacing, dispersion map, and other link design
factors. Table 3 through Table 7 list the operating specifications.

EMCORE TTX1994
The ECDL can be considered as two blocks, a tuning optics block and a DFB-like optics
block.
The DFB-like optics block comprises the laser diode gain chip and an output
collimating lens, a combination beam splitter and photodiode, an isolator, and a
fiber-focusing lens, which focuses light into the polarization-preserving fiber pigtail.
The tuning optics block comprises a back cavity mirror, a pair of thermally tuned
filters, and an intracavity collimating lens that together facilitate tuning the optical
wavelength.
The InGaAsP/InP gain chip is actively cooled through a TEC (not shown in the figure).
The diode gain chip is coupled to the external cavity with an intracavity collimating
lens. The external optical cavity is bounded by the back cavity mirror and the distal
facet of the diode gain chip. In turn, the diode gain chip, which is partially reflective,
couples light out towards the polarization-preserving fiber pigtail. Reflection from the
diode gain chip output facet is effectively eliminated with an anti-reflection (AR)
coating. The thermally tuned filter pair restricts laser oscillation to the desired
wavelength.
Note: There are no moving parts within the design. The EMCORE TTX1994 is comparable in
part count and assembly complexity to standard distributed feedback lasers (DFB).
