Abstract
The present invention is an Electro-Absorption-Isolated-Laser-Module (EMILM) especially adapted for use in optical communication systems, and more particularly a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) system. The EMILM device is packaged in an industry standard housing which consists of a metal package with dielectric feedthrus which couple internal areas of the device to external pins. The device includes passive reactive elements coupled between the electrical feedthrus and the metal package which help to minimize distortion on the drive signal of the EMILM and dampen oscillations which are induced or already present.
