Active optical devices using NRZ modulation provide reliable high-speed data transmission up to 200Gbps with compliance to industry standards and environmental robustness.Overview of NRZ Active Optical Devices

NRZ (Non-Return-to-Zero) modulation is widely used in optical transceivers and active optical cables (AOCs) for high-speed data communication. These devices convert electrical signals into optical signals and are designed for data center, enterprise, and telecom applications. NRZ devices are valued for their simplicity, low power consumption, and compatibility with standard protocols.

Key Types and Specifications
  1. SCFF 1-TRX Transceivers
    • Small Cubical Form Factor (SCFF) 1-channel duplex multimode transceivers.
    • Operate at 10Gbps and 25Gbps using NRZ modulation.
    • Rugged design for harsh environments with a height under 10mm for compact PCB integration.
    • Chip-on-board technology with VCSEL drivers, TIA, VCSEL, and PIN diodes ensures high reliability and performance.
    • Supports multiple protocols including 10GbE, 25GbE, and Fiber Channel (8G/16G/32G) for 25Gbps versions (Amphenol) .
  2. QSFP28 and QSFP-DD Active Optical Cables
    • QSFP28 AOCs: Intel-compatible, 100Gbps (4x25Gbps NRZ) over multimode fiber, hot-pluggable, RoHS compliant, lightweight, and slim for easy cable management .
    • QSFP-DD AOCs: 200Gbps (8x25Gbps NRZ), doubling port density compared to QSFP28, backward compatible with QSFP modules, supporting up to 100 meters over parallel multimode fiber .
    • Ideal for high-capacity networks and data center interconnects.
  3. High-Speed Optical Transmitters
    • Devices like the SHF 5003 NRZ optical transmitter convert electrical signals to optical signals up to 50Gbps.
    • Utilize chirp-free Mach-Zehnder modulators with optimized amplifiers for stable optical output.
    • Include built-in 1550nm DFB lasers with PM fiber loops and remote control via GPIB for precision applications .
Quality and Compliance
  • These devices are fully certified to meet international safety and quality standards, including RoHS and REACH compliance, ensuring environmental safety and reliability .
  • Ruggedized designs and advanced chipsets provide high stability, low signal distortion, and long-term operational reliability in demanding environments .
Applications
  • Data Centers: High-speed interconnects between racks and servers.
  • Telecommunications: Reliable optical links for enterprise networks.
  • High-Performance Computing: Low-latency, high-bandwidth connections.
  • Harsh Environments: Rugged transceivers for industrial or outdoor deployments.
Summary

NRZ-based active optical devices offer a combination of high-speed performance, environmental robustness, and compliance with industry standards, making them suitable for modern data communication needs. From compact SCFF transceivers to high-capacity QSFP-DD AOCs, these devices ensure quality-guaranteed optical connectivity for demanding applications.
