Does anyone know of a laser diode driver for 1.5 Gb/s, which comes
packaged with a 50 ohm SMA connection? I have a laser diode that I am
trying to directly modulate for telecoms applications - the diode comes
with a 50 ohm matched SMA connector. Most of what I have been able to
find out there so far are the chip versions, which also comes with a lot
more bells and whistles than I need (I just mainly need a modulation and
bias current adjust).

Failing that, I am thinking of using a variable gain broadband amplifier
with bias tee.

Any suggestions, thoughts or comments?

Many thanks.

u can find laser dirver IC in www.maxim-ic.com
maybe u need a developmentboard of laserdriver with SMA connector...
