QSFP TOSA/ROSA
KAIAM is
currently supplying four wavelength TOSA / ROSAs for 40GBASE-LR4
applications, optimized for a QSFP form factor. Detailed specifications
are available on request.
TOSA
The mini-TOSA consists of four CWDM DFB lasers, four monitor photodiodes,
four shunt drivers, an optical multiplexer to combine the outputs from the
four lasers, in a hermetic package with an LC receptacle with isolator,
and flex circuit for interface to the transceiver PCB.
The target application for this TOSA is for use in QSFP+ form factor pluggable
transceivers for the IEEE 40GBASE-LR4 at 4x10.3125Gb/s, as well as other derived
applications at aggregate bit rates of 4x (9.95 to 11.35 Gb/s).
Features
• four uncooled 1310nm CWDM 10Gb/s DFB lasers
• extended temperature range (-5°C to 85°C; note: options on LD
chip used in TOSA)
• multi-rate operation
• pin photodiode monitor
• shunt drivers for low power dissipation and improved signal integrity
performance
• CWDM wavelength multiplexer/combiner
• rectangular body fitting within a 6x6 mm cross section
• LC receptacle, electrically isolated from signal ground
• flex circuit
• RoHS 6/6
• Telcordia GR468 qualified

Mini-TOSA Functional Block Diagram (click to enlarge)
The functional block diagram of the mini-TOSA is shown in Figure 1. The
TOSA electrical interface is via a flex printed circuit (FPC) having four
100Ω differential signal lines. The differential signal lines terminate
in two 50Ω termination resistors in the shunt driver. The FPC has traces
that connect to anodes of the four laser shunt driver pairs, and traces
that connect to the cathode of four monitor photodiodes (MPD) with the anodes
of the MPDs being connected to GND inside the TOSA. The FPC contains signal
ground pads, as well as pads for the isolated case ground.
The four lasers and shunt drivers sit on a MEMS Si optical work bench with
micro lenses for optical coupling to the 4:1 optical combiner. The output
of the optical combiner is coupled to an LC ferrule with optical isolator.
The LC receptacle contains a ceramic split sleeve for wiggle performance.
Each laser diode channel has a front facet monitor diode for automatic power
control during module operation. The front facet monitors are achieved by
small power taps within the optical combiner chip.
The mini-TOSA is compliant to the 40GBASE-LR4 as specified in IEEE802.3ba
clause 87.
ROSA
The mini-ROSA consists of four PIN photodiodes, four Trans Impedance
Amplifiers, an optical
demultiplexer to separate the 4 input wavelengths, in a hermetic
package with an LC
receptacle, and flex circuit for interface to the transceiver PCB.
The target application for this mini-ROSA is for use in QSFP+ form
factor pluggable
transceivers for the IEEE 40GBASE-LR4 at 4x10.3125Gb/s, as well
as other derived applications
at aggregate bit rates of 4x (9.95 to 11.35 Gb/s).
Features
• Four PIN photodiodes
• Four TIA (Trans Impedance Amplifiers)
• CWDM wavelength demultiplexer
• extended temperature range (-5°C to 85°C)
• multi-rate operation
• Global LOS alarm
• Serial digital interface for DDM
• rectangular body fitting within a 6x6 mm cross section
• LC receptacle, electrically isolated from signal ground
• flex circuit
• RoHS 6/6
• Telcordia GR468 qualified
Figure 2
Mini-ROSA Functional Block Diagram (click to enlarge)
The functional block diagram of the mini-ROSA is shown in Figure 2. The
ROSA electrical interface is via a flex printed circuit (FPC) having
four 100 Ohm differential signal lines. As the high speed lines
are DC coupled to the output of the TIA, AC decoupling is needed
on the transceiver PCB. The FPC has traces that provide low speed
connections for the digital I/O, and traces for the voltage supply.
The FPC contains signal ground pads, as well as pads for the isolated
case ground.
The input of the optical demultiplexer is coupled to an LC ferrule. The
LC receptacle contains a ceramic split sleeve for wiggle performance. Each
PIN photodiode is optically coupled to the demultiplexer wavelength outputs,
and electrically wirebonded to the TIA RF inputs. The TIA provides a Global
LOS alarm pin as well as a serial digital interaface to monitor the mini-ROSA
performance as well as control TIA performance parameters.
