CWDM 40 Gbps+ multimode module for space qualified applications

Abstract

OptiComp is developing coarse WDM (CWDM) optical transceivers specifically designed for satellite applications. The CWDM transceiver module discussed incorporates vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and high speed photodiodes in transmitter and receiver sub-assemblies to achieve a rugged, compact, high-speed transceiver with low power consumption.
