VI Systems introduced first multimode fiber coupled receiver modules for data rate of up to 50 Gbit/s with a form factor matching SFP transceivers. The new generation of modules is based on high-speed PIN photodetectors for the 900 - 1350nm nm wavelength range and includes customized amplifier electronics with low power consumption.
BERLIN, Germany, December 12, 2016
VI Systems GmbH, a leader in ultra-high speed optical engines for data communications, introduces the R50-1300 receiver optical subassembly (ROSA) for data rates of up to 50 Gbit/s. The receiver includes a PIN photodetector within a spectral range of 900-1350 nm and a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) in an extremely compact high frequency 90 GHz micro-package. The receiver TO-style package is coupled with a 50 um multi- mode fiber. The dimension of the assemblies is 6 mm by 6 mm effective diameter matching SFP transceivers. The test device with an overall length of 40 mm includes a plastic boot for strain relief of the optical fiber. The T50-1300 devices are supplied with a high-frequency adaptor board which features a differential electrical output through RF connectors (V-type).
The R50-1300 requires a supply voltage of 3.3V. The overall power consumption is specified with 110mW. The ROSA includes a VIS photodetector chip in combination with the latest generation of transimpedance amplifier chip from VI Systems to ensure maximum performance at low power consumption.
