Low crosstalk and high modulation bandwidth 100GbE optical transmitter using flip-chip interconnects

Abstract

We developed the first compact 100GbE optical transmitter to use flip-chip interconnects for the first time. The flip-chip interconnects provide low crosstalk and a high modulation bandwidth. Under four-channel simultaneous operation, the 100GBASE-LR4 mask margin of the flip-chip interconnection module was improved by 10% to 27% compared with that of a wire interconnection module.
