<p>To reduce variations in the wavelength due to fluctuations of thermal expansions of a laser light source (130') for outputting a laser light beam, wherein the laser light source (130') is comprised by a laser device (100') for optical packet data transmission in DWDM-systems, and wherein the laser device (100') further comprises a laser driver (120') for driving the laser light source (130') and
a packet data source (110') for outputting a packet data stream, it is suggested that the laser light source (130') is embodied as a dual power consuming unit comprising an active laser light source element for outputting the modulated laser light beam as a first power consuming element (130'-1) and a second power consuming element (130'-2), wherein the first power consuming element (130'-1) and the second power consuming element (130'-2) have identical electrical parameters and thermal losses and both are thermally coupled. The laser driver (120') is embodied as a differential driver for driving both, the first power consuming element (130'-1) and the second power consuming element (130'-2), in a complementary manner such that the sum of their driving currents is constant in the range of the thermal time constant of the dual power consuming unit (130').</p> |
