24 PIN 10Gb/s Long Reach DWDM Serial
Transmitter Module
MT10EW
The Bookham MT10EW 10Gb/s LR Transmitter Module is a
1550nm, low power, small footprint 24-pin module enabling
high port density. It is designed to support a SONET / SDH or
10GE interface between the photonics layer and the electrical
layer for applications with reach requirements of 80km or
more. The Transmitter allows convenient direct connection to
system card electrical MUX ASICs, using un-clocked mode of
data transfer.
The transmitter has been designed for Dense Wavelength
Division Multiplexed (DWDM) operation for applications up
to 11.1GB/s.
Low power dissipation coupled with small footprint
significantly simplifies high speed card design. This results in
significant savings in card space and development time, and
greatly improved time to market.
The module provides wavelengths on the 50GHz ITU-T grid in
the C band. It is also available for non-WDM applications that
use a single wavelength. Multi functional hardware alarms and
monitors are also available for systems card and network
management.
The MT10EW LR 24 pin Transmitter Module can be used in
existing OC192 and OC192c ports as well as emerging IEEE
802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet WAN / LAN ports.
The MT10EW LR Transmitter Module is optimised for optical
link spans of 80km+ (based on GR-253, ITU G.691 and IEEE
802/3ae system architectures). Reaches in excess of 80km
may be achieved in proprietary networks.
The compact size, low power Transmitter Module is 24 pin
connectorised for convenient surface mount assembly. The
module comprises a hermetically packaged laser device and
Bookham’s InP Mach-Zehnder modulator Technology with
optical isolation and wavelength stabilisation. This ensures
that the optical source remains within optical power and
wavelength limits over variations in temperature and over life.
A microprocessor coupled with internal circuitry and a
Thermo-Electric Cooler (TEC) controls the operation of the
module and ensures the correct laser temperature to achieve
constant wavelength.

• Incorporates Bookham InP MZ Technology enabling
superior systems performance.
• +3.5 to +7dBm start of life, over temperature optical
output power window

Data Sheet
Notes:
[1] Two complementary signals of equal amplitude on each input.
[2] Referred to data level 20% or 80%, see diagram below for definitions.
[3] When not connected the TXDIS, CSEL inputs are considered in a low state, (internal pull-down resistor).
Clocked mode, CSEL=low is presently unsupported for the MT10EW.
[4] Time measured from rising edge of shutdown signal until optical output has turned off (<-40dBm).
[5] Time measured from falling edge of shutdown signal until optical output power is over 0dBm and emitted wavelength is at
nominal value +/- 200 pm. The unit is assumed to be powered on for at least 30s.
[6] Time measured from falling edge of shutdown signal until optical output power is within the specified range and
wavelength within +/-30pm.
The unit is assumed to be powered on for at least 30 seconds.
[7] Time measured from enabling laser until optical output power is within the specified range and wavelength within +/-120pm.
Module powered for 5 seconds minimum prior to enabling laser.
For any initial case temperature within the specified operational range and with TXDIS = off.
[8] Back facet monitor voltage is measured from pin 2 to GND and normalized at the beginning of life relative to the initial optical
output power (Tcase = 25°C, nominal power supply). The relationship is approximately linear, as represented by the equation:
Back-facet voltage = V
BF
. (measured optical output power/initial BOL optical output power), power measured in mW.
For example, a 50% variation of this voltage means a 50% drift of the optical output power.
Nominal
Characteristics
[9] Total relative variation of the mean modulated optical fibre output power over the operating case temperature and supply
voltage ranges for a constant back facet voltage.
[10] A sinewave is superposed to the DC supply voltage. The device must still meet the optical and electrical specifications when
the magnitude of the sinewave measured at any VCC pin (pin 13 and 24) is up to the specified value V

Power Supply Filtering Recommendations
Care should be taken when placing PCB power transmission tracks and adding additional filtering components as
these may affect module operation. It is recommended that any series inductance integrated within external power
supply filters are limited to 4.7uH max.
