RE: 10GBase-LR/LW Supporting 1550 nm
Jugnu:
I do not see nay issue from the reciver sensitivity, it is mostly quite
broad.
However, I have been come to know that, if we use 1550 test equipment
to evaluate
1310nm modules, there is one thing to be taken into account. The
bandwidth of the test
equipment needs to be less than 8GHz so that the relaxiation oscllation
of
the 1330nm optical waveform is filtered. Otherwise, it may cause problem
like
bit error .BER..

Hi Ali,
The numbers are indeed quite close. But there's still a difference of
0.5
to 1 dB. For a 1550 Tx talking to a 1300 Rx, in-line attenuators would
solve any overload problem. But what happens when you have a 1300 Tx
talking to a 1550 Rx? I assume BER suffers - this needs to be
quantified.
Regards,
Jugnu

Hi Jugnu
I looked at three manufactures of InGaAs Photodiode which are
suitable for 10 Gig Operation and the responsitivity are as the
following for 1300nm and 1550 nm:
1300 nm 1550 nm
mfg 1 0.9 0.8 A/W
mfg 2 0.8 0.85 A/W
mfg 3 0.95 1.0 A/W
Responsitivity between 1300 nm and 1550 is nearly identical.
Any overload need to be addressed similar to 1550 nm
case by adding in line attenuator, unless one build a
lower power version for SR.
Thanks,
Ali
