Energy Efficient 850 nm VCSEL Based Optical Transmitter and Receiver Link Capable of 80 Gbit/s NRZ Multi-Mode Fiber Data Transmission

摘要

In this article, we report on energy efficient (6.2 mW/Gbit/s) transmitter and receiver assemblies capable of NRZ 80 Gbit/s and 72 Gbit/s fiber data transmission through 2 and 50 m of MMF, respectively. The optical link studied consisted of a 130 nm BiCMOS driver and transimpedance amplifier, similar to 30 GHz VCSEL, and similar to 27 GHz PD.
