Abstract:
1. An optical transmitting module, comprising: a semiconductor laser diode for emitting light by receiving a bias current and a driving signal; an inductor for supplying said bias current therethrough; a driver for supplying said driving signal to said laser diode; a temperature sensor; and a CAN type package for enclosing said laser diode, said inductor, said driver and said temperature sensor therein, said CAN type package including a base, and a block provided on said base and having a side surface for mounting said laser diode and said driver thereon, said base providing a plurality of leads, one of said leads having a flat side surface on a top end portion thereof to mount said inductor therein, wherein said temperature sensor senses a temperature within said package and said driver receives said driving signal through the other of said leads and said bias current through said one of said leads via said inductor and supplies a superimposed signal of said driving signal on said bias current to said laser diode.
