XFP transceiver with 8.5G CDR bypass

Abstract: This disclosure concerns transceivers that include CDR bypass functionality. In one example, a 1OG XFP transceiver module includes integrated CDR functionality for reducing jitter. The 1OG XFP transceiver module also implements CDR bypass functionality so that the CDR can be bypassed at rate less than about 10Gb/s, such as the Fibre Channel 8.5Gb/s rate for example.

Chirp managed directly modulated laser with bandwidth limiting optical spectrum reshaper

Abstract: A fiber optic communication system, comprising: an optical signal source adapted to produce a frequency modulated signal; and an optical spectrum reshaper adapted to receive the frequency modulated signal and output a substantially amplitude modulated signal; wherein the optical spectrum reshaper limits the bandwidth of the frequency modulated signal.

Long wavelength VCSEL device processing

Abstract: A process for making a laser structure. The process is for the fabrication of a laser device such a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). The structures made involve dielectric and spin-on material planarization over wide and narrow trenches, coplanar contacts, non-coplanar contacts, thick and thin pad dielectric, air bridges and wafer thinning.

Multi-board optical transceiver

Abstract: A transceiver module including a primary printed circuit board and a secondary printed circuit board in an enclosure is presented. The primary printed circuit board is coupled to the secondary printed circuit board by a connector pin that protrudes out of a critical surface of the enclosure. The printed circuit boards may be positioned substantially parallel to the critical surface of the enclosure. When a transmitter is electrically connected to the primary printed circuit board and a receiver is electrically connected to the secondary printed circuit board, the transmitter and the receiver may be positioned in a plane that is also substantially parallel to the plane of the critical surface.

Polarization-insensitive silicon nitride Mach-Zehnder lattice wavelength demultiplexers for CWDM in the O-band

Abstract: Polarization-insensitive silicon nitride (SiN) 4-channel wavelength (de)multiplexers based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer lattice filters for coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) in the O-band are demonstrated in a SiN-on-silicon photonic platform. For the best-performing device, the insertion loss was < 2.8 dB, the inter-channel crosstalk was < -11.5 dB for a polarization scrambled input, and the passband shift between the orthogonal polarizations was < 1.5 nm. Across the 200mm wafer, the die-averaged insertion loss and maximum crosstalk were 3.1 dB and -10.6 dB, respectively. The higher-than-expected crosstalk was due to dimensional variations. This work shows the potential of SiN photonic circuits for CWDM without polarization diversity.
