STRIPLINE MOUNT FOR SEMICONDUCTOR LASERS

摘要

STRIPLINE MOUNT FOR SEMICONDUCTOR LASERS A semiconductor laser mount is disclosed for use in high frequency (>500 Mb/s) applications. The mount comprises a stripline transmission path and a resistive element connected to the stripline. The stripline is used as an impedance controlling network to provide frequency independent coupling from the signal source to the device and the resistive element is used to compensate the variation of the impedance of the device to essentially match that of the stripline. Both the stripline and resistive element are integrated with the mount material to form a monolithic structure. Additionally, low frequency optical device inputs may be formed on an isolated portion of the mount to increase the versatility of the arrangement by increasing the operable bandwidth of the optical device.
