Abstract

Compact optical transmitter/receiver modules for STM-1 transmission systems have been developed incorporating custom ASICs (application specific integrated circuit) and novel packaging technologies. Coupling of optical chips and fibers for both modules is accomplished utilizing passive alignment method to lessen package cost and size. A fully integrated module is as compact as 3 cc in volume
