Instrumentation and Detectors 2020-08-25 v1

Abstract

We present a dual-channel optical transmitter (MTx+)/transceiver (MTRx+) for the front-end readout electronics of high-energy physics experiments. MTx+ utilizes two Transmitter Optical Sub-Assemblies (TOSAs) and MTRx+ utilizes a TOSA and a Receiver Optical Sub-Assemblies (ROSA). Both MTx+ and MTRx+ receive multimode fibers with standard Lucent Connectors (LCs) as the optical interface and can be panel or board mounted to a motherboard with a standard Enhanced Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) connector as the electrical interface. MTx+ and MTRx+ employ a dual-channel Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) driver ASIC called LOCld65, which brings the transmitting data rate up to 14 Gbps per channel. MTx+ and MTRx+ have been tested to survive 4.9 kGy(SiO2).
