Description

Transmitter enable

A green LED that provides visual indication of the transmitter’s

 

enable status.

Fault indicator

A single red LED that lights when the hybrid current is outside the

 

normal operating range, the laser output power is below normal

 

limits, or the laser current is above normal limits. Because the laser

 

output requires a short period of time to stabilize, it is acceptable

 

for the fault indicator to illuminate during the stabilization interval

 

(approximately 2 seconds). Note that the module must be enabled

 

for the fault indicator to function.

SG2 - DFBT Optical Transmitter

The SG2-DFBT is an isolated distributed feedback (DFB) return path optical transmitter used in the SG 2000 node platform. It has a nominal optical output power of 1.0 mW and is used in conjunction with an AM-RPR, AM-OMNI-RPR/2, or other similar return-path optical receiver.

Figure 5-18 illustrates the SG2-DFBT:

FeatureDescription

Optical power test point This test point enables monitoring of the optical output level of the module. The nominal scale factor is 1.0 V/mW. The optical power test-point voltage is between 0.945 V through 1.055 V (optical power of 0.945 mW through 1.055 mW) when the module is enabled under normal operating conditions. Note that the optical power test point does not track changes in optical power due to the laser tracking error.

Laser current test point This test point enables monitoring of the current drawn by the laser diode. The nominal scale factor is 1.0 V/A. The laser current test point voltage is between 5 mV through 110 mV (laser current of

5 mA through 110 mA) when the module is enabled under normal operating conditions. The laser current is expected to vary widely with changes in temperature, but should always remain between the limits.
