Electrical package impact on VCSEL-based optical interconnects

چکیده
A new CAD tool fREEDA based on state variable approach and universal error concept is presented for modelling and simulating systems where physical domains such as electrical, thermal, and optical interact with each other. A single implementation of device equations in fREEDA can be used with different analysis types such as transient and harmonic balance, etc. To demonstrate the multi-physics capabilities of fREEDA , we present a study of the impact of electrical packages on the source module performance in multi-gigabit per second vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL)-based optical interconnects. The effect of various operating conditions such as bias/drive level and driver configuration are studied. We consider electrical packages such as printed wire board, thin-film and flip-chip in our study. A comparison of VCSELs with stripe lasers is also presented. 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

CMOS Circuits for VCSEL - Based Optical
Electrical IO is becoming limited by copper interconnect channel losses that depend on frequency and distance. Package-to-package optical interconnects see negligible frequency-dependent channel losses, but data rates are limited by the intrinsic optical dynamics and electrical parasitics of the optical devices. This thesis presents 90nm CMOS front-end circuits which apply techniques to operate...
متن کاملA comprehensive Verilog-A VCSEL model for >20Gb/s optical interconnect transceiver circuit design
Directly-modulated vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are commonly used in short-reach optical interconnect applications. In order to enable efficient optical interconnect transceiver systems operating at data rates in excess of 20Gb/s, cosimulation environments which allow for the optimization of driver circuitry with accurate compact VCSEL models are necessary. This paper presen...

A 90nm CMOS optical transceiver chip, 850nm 10Gb/s Ga...
متن کاملAn MT-Style Optical Package for Optical Data Transmission
An optical package for mounting VCSEL and PIN diodes for transmitting and receiving optical signals has been developed. The diodes couple to the fibers in a commercial MT connector. The package is quite compact with its physical size significantly smaller than that of the MT connector. This design simplifies the testing and assembly of the optical components because the MT connector with the lo...
