Transmitter Section
The transmitter section of the
HFBR-53D3 consists of an 850 nm
Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting
Laser (VCSEL) in an optical
subassembly (OSA), which mates
to the fiber cable. The HFCT-53D3
incorporates a 1300 nm Fabry-
Perot (FP) Laser designed to
meet the Fibre Channel
specification. The OSA is driven
by a custom, silicon bipolar IC
which converts differential PECL
logic signals (ECL referenced to a
+5 V supply) into an analog laser
diode drive current.

Receiver Section
The receiver of the HFBR-53D3
includes a silicon PIN photodiode
mounted together with a custom,
silicon bipolar transimpedance
preamplifier IC in an OSA. This
OSA is mated to a custom silicon
bipolar circuit that provides post-
amplification and quantization.
The HFCT-53D3 utilizes an InP
PIN photodiode in the same
configuration.
The overall Agilent transceiver
product consists of three sections:
the transmitter and receiver
optical subassemblies, an
electrical subassembly, and the
package housing which
incorporates a duplex SC
connector receptacle.
