LuxNet Goes TOSA/ROSA

FREMONT, Calif. -- LuxNet Corporation, an emerging leader of high speed, high reliability and wide temperature range operation optical components, today introduced its 850nm LC-TOSA (Transmitter Optical Subassemblies) and LC-ROSA (Receiver Optical Subassemblies). These products, which utilize LuxNet’s high speed, high performance, and high reliability 850nm VCSELs, are designed for Fiber Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and ATM/SONET transceivers and meet today’s rigorous failure rate standards for telecom and datacom devices. LuxNet’s TOSA and ROSA are available in two versions. All versions meet the performance requirements of very short and short reach multimode fiber optic applications. The first version performs at 1.06 Gbps to 1.25 Gbps and the second version performs from 2.1Gbps to 2.5Gbps.According to LuxNet’s VP of Detector Technology, Ghulam Hasnain, “the essential part of our ROSA is LuxNet’s state-of-the-art GaAs PIN detector that has extremely low dark current, high responsivity and very low capacitance. The PIN chip together with a transimpedance amplifier and optical receptacle form the ROSA that is key to a high sensitivity optical receiver. Our 850 nm ROSA demonstrates receiver sensitivity of –19 dBm at 2.5 Gb/s data rates.” LuxNet Corp.
