VI Systems offers 850nm VCSEL module for 50 Gbit/s

VI Systems offers test modules suitable for multimode fiber transmission of up to 50 Gbit/s. The V50-850M transmitter is based on a new 850nm cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) chip design in a high-frequency package. The device is fiber coupled to multi mode fiber and designed for test setups aiming the next generation of short reach optical interconnects.

BERLIN, Germany, January 21, 2015

VI Systems GmbH introduces the fiber coupled 850nm vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) transmitter module V50-850M for data rates of up to 50 Gbit/s. The transmitter module features a V-connector for the electrical input signal and for the optical output a 50/125 multi mode fiber which is terminated with a standard FC/PC connector.

The V50-850M transmitter module is designed for test setups aimed at development of advanced short reach optical interconnects. The module image003.jpgfootprint size is 62.5 mm x 16.7 mm. The height of the module is specified as 8 mm. The fiber cable length is typically 1 meter.

The maximum optical output power is specified at 6 dBm. The typical operating voltage is 2.4 V. Test data is provided by the Heinrich Hertz Institute, Berlin. No pre-emphasis and equalization was applied. A significant improvement is expected with properly adjusted electric pulse shape engineering.

VI Systems will present technology achievements at the SPIE Photonics West Conference,February 7-12, 2015, San Francisco, CA. Details can be found at http://spie.org/x2584.xml

Visit VI Systems at the Photonics West exhibition at booth # 4601 in the German Pavilion.
