Laser diode module

A laser diode module comprising:

• a rectangular box-shaped metal casing with a bottom, two long and two short side walls, a tubular passage for a glass fiber being provided in one of the short side walls, and in which at least six guide pins are passed through the bottom in a standardized DIL order, at least one of the guide pins being inserted in the bottom by means of an electrically conductive material and the remaining guide pins being inserted in the bottom by means of feedthrough insulators;
• a sheet-like metal base carrier having a electrically conductive coupling with the casing, on which base carrier are mounted a first subcarrier with a laser diode attached to it, a support for mounting the glass fiber in a manner such that its end faces the front facet of the laser diode, and a second subcarrier with the photodiode attached to it;
• and
• connecting lines for electrically connecting the laser diode, the photodiode and the metal base carrier to the respective guide pins, characterized in that the guide pin for electrically connecting the laser diode, which pin is inserted in the bottom by means of a feedthrough insulator, forms, only inside the casing and substantially throughout its entire length inside the casing, the inner guide of a coaxial transmission line whose outer guide is electrically conductively connected to the casing, and in the connecting line between the linear guide and the laser diode a resistor is inserted having a value such that the sum of the resistances of this resistor and the laser diode is substantially equal to the characteristic impedance of the coaxial transmission line.
