Abstract :
A fiber-pigtail-detached plastic MiniDIL transmitter module that has a tool-free optical connector and meets the OC 3 and OC 12 has been developed to enable low-cost fabrication. The optical connector can be connected and disconnected from the module without any specific tool. Fiber output of more that 0.4 mW, insertion loss of less than 0.3 dB, return loss of more than 42 dB, and repeatability of more than 30 times were achieved.
