With the driver and transimpedance amplifier embedded in the OSA and leveraging a ZIF-terminated flex circuit, the Opticis Six-Channel 6-Gbps CWDM OSA (PS51S-R0T-6) is a fully integrated TOSA/ROSA versatile enough to be designed in to a variety of systems, extending to applications such as in HDMI v2.0 and DP 1.2.

Other features include:

  • Low-stress, highly flexible connection
  • Low current consumption
  • Max 200-m transmission distance
  • Compatibility and support of both SC and LC receptacles
  • Better eye pattern quality
  • Directional freedom (right or left) of the FPCB connector.

The CWDM OSA is available in a module type packaging and/or with housing.

Judge's comment: "While high channel density OSAs are not new, putting six integrated into a small package suitable for 200 m over MMF for consumer apps is very innovative and pulls optical communications into a new field."
