Development of WDM optical-transceiver

Abstract

Recently the traffic volume of data communication is increasing by the huge growth of the Internet, and the adoption of FTTH (Fiber To The Home) is in the trend that expands. FTTH adopts the single star method using the media converter that is able to achieve the cost reduction in the present. We developed the optical transceiver that is the main part of a media converter. This optical transceiver uses WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology, so is able to transmit with the one fiber bi-direction. The package of the transceiver conforms 2×5 style pin arrangement.
