  • High-speed optical transceiver, a bi-directional duplex optical fiber link, and a method for providing a bi-directional duplex optical fiber link
    Patent number: 8326157
    Abstract: A duplex optical fiber link is provided that includes two bi-directional optical fiber links. Each of the bi-directional links includes a multimode optical fiber and an optical transceiver connected to each of the ends of each of the fibers. Each of the optical transceivers includes a bi-directional optical multiplexer (MUX) that is configured to simultaneously optically couple optical data signals produced by a laser diode of the transceiver into an end of one of the fibers and to optically couple an optical data signal passing out of the end of one of the fibers onto a photodiode of the transceiver. The laser diodes operate at a data rate of at least 10 Gb/s such that each optical transceiver transmits and receives optical data signals at an aggregate data rate of at least 20 Gb/s. Consequently, the bi-directional duplex optical link has an aggregate data rate of at least 40 Gb/s.
