A 96Gb/s-Throughput Transceiver for Short-Distance Parallel Optical Links

This work reports 96Gb/s throughput transceiver modules, consisting of 64 parallel channels operated at 1.5Gb/s each, implemented on a 75 mum pitch in a 0.35 mum SiGe BiCMOS technology. The adopted technology provides high bulk resistivity, which is desirable for low channel crosstalk. The 75 mum pi...

Description
Summary:This work reports 96Gb/s throughput transceiver modules, consisting of 64 parallel channels operated at 1.5Gb/s each, implemented on a 75 mum pitch in a 0.35 mum SiGe BiCMOS technology. The adopted technology provides high bulk resistivity, which is desirable for low channel crosstalk. The 75 mum pitch only allows one pad per channel, thus requiring the use of common cathode devices for both VCSEL and PD arrays.
