Design and evaluation of the 10Gbps*4ch. optical transmitter and receiver modules for the optical backplane

Abstract

Our group develops the system of the optical backplane instead of the electrical backplane for signal transmission in the router.We are going to describe1.the design and evaluation results of the 10Gbps optical transmitter and receiver modules, 2. evaluation results of 10Gbps optical signal transmission through the optical backplane.We demonstrated the 10-Gbps optical signal transmission between two boards through the optical backplane we developed and indicated the applicability for the optical backplane.
