Implementation of advanced 10Gb/s optical transceiver module

This paper deals with the implementation of advanced 10 Gb/s optical transceiver module. Highly integrated functions such as multi-rate, system managed and optical diagnostic mode in the XFP optical module design is presented. The attractive features of XFP such smaller package size, lower power consumption and simplified serial to serial architecture makes it possible for designers to shrink and be more flexible with the printed circuit board area of the transceiver module. A transmission distance of 100 m was achieved (as defined in 10Gbase-SR in 10Gb/s ethernet standard) as well as the system monitor control ability.
