Package
Description
The OPV200 is a high performance 850nm VCSEL pack-
aged for high speed communication links. This product's
combination of features including high speed, high output
power and concentric beam makes it an ideal transmitter
for integration into many types of data communications
equipment.
Applications include:
Fibre Channel
Gigabit Ethernet
ATM
VSR (Very Short Reach)
Intra-system links
Optical backplane interconnects
.

OPV200 Technical Data
NOTES:
(1) Threshold Current is based on the two line intersection method specified in Telcordia GR-468-Core. Line 1 from 6 mA to 8 mA.
Line 2 from 0 mA to 2 mA.
(2) Series Resistance is the slope of the Voltage-Current line from 8 to 12 mA.
(3) Slope efficiency, is the slope of the best fit LI line from 8 mA to 12 mA.
(4) Using data points taken for slope efficiency above, delta L/delta I shall be calculated for each adjacent pair of .5mA points. The minimum
shall be 0.0. (No negative values permitted).
