Fiber Optic Products

This category consists of optoelectronic devices that are designed to be used in fiber optic data communication applications. The products consist of optical transmitter module LED’s (Light Emitting Diodes), or VCSEL’s (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers) and optical receivers (DC Coupled or AC Coupled) or optical transceiver modules. The product is designed to operate from very low signal rates (e.g. RS-232) to data rates in excess of 2.5 Gbps (Giga bits per second).

  • LED’s and VCSEL’s are optimized to be used with a variety of fiber optic multimode cables including: 50/125, 62.5/125, 100/140 and 200/300 HCS.
  • Fiber optic optical transmitters, photodiodes, phototransistors, and simple receivers are available as individual components, allowing special mounting considerations by next level manufacturing as well as a variety of fiber optic connectors such as metal ST, plastic ST, conductive plastic ST, sugar cube (Fiber-DIP), metal FC, SC and MT-RJ (MTRJ). The mechanical design of these components provide the user a choice between hermetically sealed devices and less expensive plastic cap components.

  • Fiber optic optical receivers consist of a high quality PIN photodiode and optical amplifier or TIA (Trans Impedance Amplifier). They are designed to meet a variety of applications such as:
5 MBd (Mega Baud) – Monolithic Photo-IC comprised of a photodetector and DC amplifier driving an Open collector Output Schottky transistor compatible with TTL and CMOS logic. They are designed to operate from a single +5 volt power supply. This product is available as an individual component or connectorized and actively aligned for optimal use with multimode fiber optic cables.

35 MBd or 25 MHz (mega Hertz) – High speed, low noise, photodiode coupled to a TIA (transimpedance amplifier) which produces an output voltage proportional to the input light amplitude. This hybrid approach solves many of the problems of high-speed data link designs by placing a pre-amplifier close to the photodiode. The level amplification produced by the transimpedance amplifier makes the output signal much less susceptible to interference which is a problem often found at high data rates and in high EMI environments. This product is available as a component or connectorized and actively aligned for optimal use with multimode fiber optic cables.

125MBd or 100MHz – Transceiver module designed with a low cost 850nm alternative to expensive 1300nm FDDI and ATM components. FDDI and ATM compliant signaling allows the system designer to design short haul FDDI and ATM performance with a significant cost savings. This product is supplied in the industry standard 1X9 SIP package with a duplex EC connector.

155MBd or 125MHz – The receiver is comprised of a high speed, low noise photodiode coupled to a transimpedance amplifier that produces an output voltage proportional to the input light amplitude. This hybrid approach solves many of the problems of high-speed data link designs by placing a pre-amplifier close to the photodiode. The level amplification produced by the transimpedance amplifier makes the output signal much less susceptible to interference which is a problem often found at high data rates and in high EMI environments. The output of the receiver is an analog low impedance, emitter follower voltage source capable of driving an amplifier or level translating circuitry. This allows the subsequent circuitry to use the device in either the analog mode or translated to ECL\TTL levels for use in a digital circuit. This product is available as a component or connectorized and actively aligned for optimal use with multimode fiber optic cables.

The transceiver is assembled in a SFF (small form factor) package for use in data communications applications utilizing an MT-RJ dual fiber receptacle designed for high density implementations and easy end-user installation. The transmitter is an 850nm LED and is configured for optimum performance when used in conjunction with an integrated receiver. The receiver consists of a high speed PIN photodiode coupled with a low noise transimpedance amplifier (TIA). The receiver output is a NRZ (non return to zero) low impedance analog source designed to be easily converted to PECL or TTL levels by external circuitry. This combination of devices and packaging result in a physical layer medium dependent (PMD) sub-layer for communications between nodes of a fiber network.

The transceiver assembled in the 1X9 Form Factor Duplex SC or ST Connector package is designed for use in 100Base-FX, ATM, SONET and FDDI PMD markets. This configuration utilizes a 1310nm LED and receiver. The characterization is performed in accordance with the FDDI PMD standard, and the Fast Ethernet Alliance defines the physical layer for 100 Base-FX. The design consists of a transmitter optical subassembly, a receiver optical subassembly, and an electrical sub-assembly. They are all in the same package utilizing either a +5 volt or +3.3 volt power supply. The input driver circuit converts the differential PECL signals into a proportional light signal to be transmitted at 1300nm through a multimode fiber optic cable. The receiver optical sub-assembly consists of an InGAAs PIN photodiode and transimpedance amplifier in an integrated package to optimize performance. The resulting analog output is coupled to a post-amplifier for signal conditioning and conversion to differential, PECL high-speed electrical outputs.

194MBd or 155MHz – The receiver is comprised of a high speed, low noise photodiode coupled to a transimpedance amplifier which produces an output voltage proportional to the input light amplitude. This hybrid approach solves many of the problems of high-speed data link designs by placing a pre-amplifier close to the photodiode. The level amplification produced by the transimpedance amplifier makes the output signal much less susceptible to interference which is a problem often found at high data rates and in high EMI environments. The output of the receiver is an analog low impedance, emitter follower voltage source capable of driving an amplifier or level translating circuitry. This allows the subsequent circuitry to use the device in either the analog mode or translated to ECL\TTL levels for use in a digital circuit. This product is available as a component or connectorized and actively aligned for optimal use with multimode fiber optic cables
