Abstract :
A full-duplex, simultaneous operation, multi-rate optical transceiver module for flexible optical access network systems has been fabricated. Based on a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) platform, the module is compact, highly sensitive, and supports multi-rate operation because it offers automatic transimpedance gain and band-pass filtering. This module will realise economical optical access network systems.
