Misalignment tolerance analysis and fabrication for highly efficient parallel optical-electrical convertor module

A compact, highly efficient, and passively assembled parallel optical-electrical convertor module (POECM) for active optical cable application is proposed. This paper presents our POECM structure, optical design simulation results, fabrication process, and data transmission test results, in sequence. The POECM has a compact size of (18.5hbox {mm} times 10hbox {mm} times 2.8hbox {mm}) . We confirm a data rate of total throughput at 21.6 Gbps ( (5.4hbox {Gbps} times 4) channels) with a bit error rate of less than (10^{-12}) .
