select R
A bias stabilizing capacitor (C
ed between the COMP pin and ground to obtain the
desired APC loop time constant. This improves power-
supply and ground noise rejection. A capacitance of
0.1µF usually is sufficient to obtain time constants of up
to 35µs.
The degeneration resistance between MON2 and
ground determines the bias current that causes a fault
and affects the APC time constant. Select R
total resistance between MON2 and ground) =
400mV/(maximum bias current). A degeneration resis-
tance of 10Ω can be obtained by grounding MON1.

A capacitor can be added to PORDLY to increase the
delay when powering up the part. The delay will be
approximately:
See the Typical Operating Characteristics section.
Laser package inductance causes the laser impedance
to increase at high frequencies, leading to ringing,
overshoot, and degradation of the laser output. A laser-
compensation filter network can be used to reduce the
laser impedance at high frequencies, thereby reducing
output ringing and overshoot.
