Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a new burst-mode optical transmitter structure which is suitable for high data rate operation such as Gb/s operation. With this structure we made a 1.25Gb/s burst-mode optical transmitter including a digitally controlled APC circuit for EPON systems using commercial 0.8m BiCMOS technology. It well functioned at 1.25Gb/s and showed good eye patterns with 53.3ps jitter, 191ps rise time and 258ps fall time. To characterize the APC function we measured optical output power as increasing external voltage VREF. The optical power is linearlyproportional to VREF at the rate of 0.293mW/V.

본 논문에서는 Gb/s 동작과 같은 고속 동작에 적합한 새로운 버스트 모드 광 송신기 구조를 제시하였다. 이 구조로써 디지털적으로 제어되는 APC 회로를 포함하는 EPON용 버스트-모드 광 송신기를 상용 0.8m BiCMOS 기술을 이용하여 제작하였다. 제작된 광 송신기는 1.25Gb/s에서 잘 동작했고 53.3ps의 지터, 191ps기 상승시간 및 258ps의 하강시간을 갖는 양호한 아이패턴을 보였다. APC 기능의 특성을 파악하기 위해 외부 전압 $V_{REF}$를 증가시키며 출력광의 전력을 측정했다. 광 전력은 0.293mW/V의 비율로 $V_{REF}$에 선형적으로 비례하였다.
