A 200-Gb / s wavelength-division multiplexing transmission system using multiwavelength directly modulated transmitter optical subassemblies for data center has been proposed and demonstrated experimentally. The 8 × 25 Gb / s PAM-4 optical transmission system over 10 km of standard single-mode fiber is tested. The penalty variation within 1 dB for eight channels indicates that colorless transmission operation in the C-band is feasible with stable performance. Clear eye openings without any distortion show a good linearity characteristic for the optical transmission system. The advantages of integration, channelization, miniaturization, and low power consumption of the proposed scheme present a promising result for data center interconnection.
In this paper, the influence of packaging on the high speed performance of photodetector (PD) is systematically and comprehensively studied. Combined with the equivalent circuit, the RF attenuation induced by packaging in PD module is investigated in detail. The microwave transmission performance of the PD module has been analyzed and optimized in three regions: the RF substrate, the connection between the coaxial connector and the substrate, and the parasitic parameters introduced by packaging. With the optimized scheme, a packaged PD module with a 3dB bandwidth of 23GHz is fabricated and its bandwidth has no degradation compared to the photodiode chip. The results indicate that the performance of the PD module can be compensated by optimizing the packaging design and the optimized scheme can be used for PD module which has a higher response speed.
