Oki develops EML with a built-in driver IC for 40Gbps optical communications Mar 24, 2009

Sample will be available in May 2009 and volume production will start from August 2009.

40 Gbps optical communications transceivers have been becoming smaller in size, thus the mounting area for components have been reduced. The OL5191M has EML and in house made InP HEMT(*3) driver IC built-into a same package, achieving 60 percent reduction of the mounting area in a transceiver than that of using EML and external driver.

The OL5191M generates high-quality optical waveforms for use in 40 Gbps optical communications, and also facilitates size reductions. Oki Semiconductor employs high-speed, low power consumption devices to offer high-performance, high-quality optical components to the 40 Gbps optical communications market—a market expected to grow in the future.
