NOTES:

(1) Threshold Current is based on the two line intersection method specified in Telcordia GR-468-Core. Line 1 from 4 mA to 6 mA. Line 2 from

0 mA to 0.5 mA.

(2) Series Resistance is the slope of the Voltage-Current line from 5 to 8 mA.

(3) Slope efficiency, is the slope of the best fit LI line from 5 mA to 8 mA using no larger than 0.25 mA test interval points.

(4) Using data points taken for slope efficiency above, delta L/delta I shall be calculated for each adjacent pair of points.
