2013年IEEE擬定了802.3bm的標準100 GBASE-SR4由四個通道來達成100 Gb/s 以達到降低成本的需求。本文所設計的光收發模組,使用發送端使四通道28 Gb/s及850 nm波長之驅動IC以及四通道陣列之單通道25 Gb/s垂直共振腔面射型雷射(vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser, VECSL)。接收端使用四通道最大速率28 Gb/s之接收IC以及單通道25 Gb/s波長為850 nm 之陣列光接收二極體(photodiode, PD)。同時增加一對四通道最大速率28 Gb/s的時脈與資料恢復器(clock and data recovery, CDR)在收發器裡,用以改善輸出與輸入的效能。
The 100 GBASE-SR4 is defined in IEEE 802.3bm standards in 2013, and uses four channels to achieve 100-Gb/s operation. We designed a transceiver module based on the IEEE 802.3bm specification. In our module, the transmitter uses a quad 28-Gb/s laser driver integrated circuit (IC) and an 850nm wavelength quad 25-Gb/s vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) array. The receiver uses a quad 28-Gb/ s receiver IC and an 850nm wavelength quad 25-Gb/s photodiode array. Two quad 28-Gb/s clock and data recovery (CDR) ICs are also used in the transceiver to improve the performance of input and output signals.
