Abstract
An optical transceiver comprising: an optical transmitter having plurality of light sources controllable to generate optical signals in different optical channels, an output aperture, an optical multiplexer that multiplexes optical signals generated by the light sources and transmits them to exit the transceiver from the output aperture; an optical receiver having a plurality of optical sensors, an input aperture for receiving optical signals in a plurality of optical channels, a demultiplexer that demultiplexes signals received at the input aperture, and directs signals received in different channels to different optical sensors of the plurality of optical sensors; and a QSFP compliant housing that houses the transmitter and receiver.
