Abstract:
1. A pluggable optical transceiver, comprising: integrated circuitry configured to provide forward error correction encoding and decoding; a transmitter communicatively coupled to the integrated circuit, wherein the transmitter comprises a standard negatively chirped laser designed for 80 km transmission distance with a wavelength between 1480 nm and 1533 nm; a receiver communicatively coupled to the integrated circuit; and a module housing in which the integrated circuitry, the transmitter, and the receiver are disposed, wherein the module housing is pluggable in a host device configured to operate the pluggable optical transceiver, and wherein the forward error correction encoding and decoding is performed transparently to the host device, wherein the integrated circuitry, the transmitter, and the receiver provide up to 120 km reach on single mode fiber without external amplifiers or dispersion compensation.
