S. Kaneko et al., Low-crosstalk hybrid-integrated optical transceiver module using a polymerPLC chip and a MMF stub, IEEE PHOTON, 13(8), 2001, pp. 866-868
We report a hybrid-integrated optical transceiver module using a discrete p
olymer planar lightwave circuit (PLC) chip and a multimode fiber (MMF) stub
. A low-crosstalk performance is indispensable for this transceiver module
to achieve a good receiver (Rx) performance under the full duplex operation
. The discrete polymer PLC chip and the MMF stub well isolate a Rx from a t
ransmitter both optically and electrically, and excellent receiver performa
nce of 0.1-dB power penalty caused by the crosstalk is obtained.
