Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta demonstrated an error-free data transmission over 100 meters of 80 μm-diameter core plastic optical fiber (POF) at record 25 Gbps. The coupling tolerances to reach error-free transmission (defined as a bit error ratio
Optical data transmission of up to 40 Gbps has been realized with high speed photodetectors and transimpendance amplifiers from VI Systems. The V40-850C chip is available in a 250 x 250 µm single die size or as 1×4-channel or 1×12-channel chip array.
The target applications are proprietary optical links and active optical cables at 40 Gbit/s and 100 Gbit/s, Fibre Channel at 14 Gbps and 28 Gbps, and Infiniband FDR (14 Gbps) and EDR (26 Gbps) applications.
