PCB selection of optical transceiver

2017-08-26
An optical module seems simple, but it's actually going through a fairly long cycle of work. The components of the optical transceiver include optical devices, optical interface and PCBA. Today we will share how to make a good quality PCBA.

The following tests are required for a high quality PCBA:

(1)Impedance verification
Verify the impedance of the attached line or transferring line on circuit board, impedance discontinuity resolution as low as 2mm.
 PCB selection of optical transceiver
(2)Loss test
Test the insertion loss and return loss of the passive channel on the circuit board, and crosstalk between the transmission lines.
PCB selection of optical transceiver
(3)Eye diagram test
Test passive channel response, or test transmitter signal quality.
 
(4)BER test
Test bit error rate level of serial channel, can test the influence of jitter tolerance of receiver or multi-channel crosstalk on the bit error rate when external loopback.

(5)Conformance test
For common high-speed serial buses, such as PCIe, SATA/SAS and so on, to do the conformance test at the transmitter end.

    With the continuous development of 5G communication technology, 100G modules are gradually becoming popular. We know that there are many kinds of packages for 100G optical modules. From 2000 to now, the optical module package types have been rapidly developed. Its main package types are: GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, SNAP12, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, CFP, CXP. In the fast-developing network era, some 100G optical modules avoid the risk of being eliminated, and upgraded and revised with the wave of the Internet, such as 100G CFP optical modules.

    1. What is the CWDM SFP? The CWDM optical module is an optical module using CWDM technology to implement the connection between the existing network device and the CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer, CWDM optical modules can increase network capacity by transmitting multiple data channels with separate optical wavelengths (1270 nm to 1610 nm) on the same single fiber.

    AOC is the abbreviation of Active Optical Cables, which is called Active Optical Cables in Chinese. AOC active optical is to encapsulate two optical modules and cable together. Because the medium of transmission in the middle is optical cable, AOC optical module, which contains laser devices, has a higher price for DAC. However, its optical aperture is not exposed, it has high reliability, and its working distance can be customized for a long distance of less than 100 meters.

    Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology is capable of transmitting data in an optical fiber using bit wavelength parallel transmission or string line transmission using the wavelength of the laser.It is widely used in different fields of communication networks, including long-distance backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), residential access networks, and local area networks (LANs).The DWDM optical module is the optical module that uses this technology, so the DWDM optical module has high bandwidth and long-distance transmission characteristics.
