Hamamatsu To Introduce Several New 10 Gbps ROSA Devices
New receivers are designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, SONET/SDH, XFP modules, and other applications.
Bridgewater, NJ — Hamamatsu Corporation is introducing several new 10 Gbps ROSA (Receiver Optical Sub-Assembly) devices for optical fiber communications of various types, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet, SDH/SONET, and WDM systems. The new devices will be on display at the OFC/NFOEC exhibit (booth #2567) from March 27 to 29 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Southern California.
For short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, the G10447 series GaAs PIN photodiode with preamp supports 10 Gbps bit rates at 850 nm. The G10447 series consists of a plastic package, 1.25 mm diameter sleeve-type ROSA for LC receptacles (G10447-54) and a plastic package, 2.5 mm diameter sleeve-type ROSA for SC receptacles (G10447-51). It has a large 60 micron active area for multimode optical fibers, and provides differential output, typical gain of 6 kohm, and minimum receivable sensitivity of typically -13.5 dBm (OMA, extinction ratio: 3.0 dB). Power supply voltage is 3.3 V.
Another product for short-range applications is the G10208 series InGaAs PIN photodiode with preamp, which can be used with multimode fibers for 10GBASE-LRM and other 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission at 1300 nm. The G10208 series consists of plastic package, 1.25 mm diameter sleeve-type ROSA for LC receptacles (G10208-54) and a plastic package, 2.5 mm diameter sleeve-type ROSA for SC receptacles (G10208- 51). Features include differential output, low power supply voltage of 3.3 V, and minimum receivable sensitivity of typically -15 dBm (OMA, extinction ratio: 3.5 dB). A built-in transimpedance amplifier provides automatic gain control.
For short to long-range applications, the G10342 series InGaAs PIN photodiode with preamp supports bit rates of up to 11.3 Gbps at 1300 nm or 1550 nm. This series conforms to XMD-MSA specifications for 10 Gbps miniature devices, which ensures compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet, SONET OC-192/SDH STM-64, and XFP modules. In the G10342 series, housing and signal ground are electrically isolated. Other features include low power supply voltage of 3.3 V, differential output, high transimpedance gain of 6 kohm, and minimum receivable sensitivity of typically -20.5 dBm (average extinction ratio: 14 dB). Low optical return loss of 35 dB is another benefit.
In addition to the 10 Gbps ROSAs, Hamamatsu will display a variety of other optical communications devices at OFC/NFOEC 2007, including InGaAs linear image sensors for WDM systems. These sensors are especially useful for monitoring power and wavelength in ROADM equipment in today's growing metro optical networks.
