Design of 400 Gbit/s QSFP-DD SR8 Optical Transceiver Module

Abstract

With the full deployment of 5th generation mobile communication network, the optical communication industry has entered the stage of comprehensive and rapid development. According to the demand of data center optical module market, the optical module will develop to high speed and low price in the future. The 400 Gbit/s Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable-Double Density (QSFP-DD) studied in this paper is based on the theory of near Gauss Beam. The optical path is designed and simulated by ZEMAX software, and the spherical parameters are optimized by the optimization function. The coupling efficiency is 74.8%, and the coupling efficiency under different offset is analyzed to get the error range. After analyzing the Fresnel reflection of the contact surface, and comparing the performance of the device under different grinding angles and the high-temperature fiber transmission test of the module, an oblique 8 ° for adaptation is selected. According to the requirements of the protocol, the optical design of this paper with 8 ° angle optical fiber can meet the requirements of the use of the scene.
