This paper introduces the basic working principles of 10 Gbit/s Small Form-Factor Pluggable Transceiver(XFP) applied in SONET systems and describes the design of the optical transceiver modules that conforms to the relevant standards.Comparing with the conventional design
this module reduces both the cost and complexity of the design thanks to the adoption of the main chip GN2010EA
on which bi-directional CDR
APC and LA and laser driver are integrated.The test results show that this module can emit light with stable optical power and extinction ratio over a wide range of temperature.Furthermore
its parameters satisfy the requirements of ITU-T standard and meet the design requirements for 10 Gbit/s XFP modules.
