摘要： Embodiments introduce redundant optical channels to significantly extend the lifetime of parallel optical transceivers. A plurality of transmitters, N, transmit on a plurality of optical channels, where N is an integer number of optical channels greater than 1. One or more redundant channels, M, are also provided. N+M multiple input shift registers provide multiple paths for signals from each of the transmitters to connect to N+M laser diodes. In the event up to M of the N+M laser diodes fail, the multiple input shift registers connect the N transmitters to functioning ones of the N+M laser diodes thus extending the life of the device. A corresponding scheme is also described for the receiver side.

摘要： A transceiver assembly for use in fiber optic communications systems where multiple optical fibers are used in transmitting and receiving optical signals. The assembly is adapted for being mechanically and optically connected with a ferrule supporting a set of optical communications fibers. The transceiver assembly supports an optoelectronic device having a corresponding set of photoactive components which are operative for either converting photonic signals to electrical signals (in a receiver) or converting electrical signals to photonic signals (in a transmitter). The transceiver assembly includes a frame section having a carrier which is precisely fabricated for supporting the optoelectronic device and includes an alignment structure for cooperating with the optical ferrule to align the photoactive components with the fibers in the ferrule. The frame section is part of a larger carrier assembly including a multilayer circuit board which may include a microcontroller chip, an edge connector for electrically connecting with a computer or communications system and a flex circuit which provides communications lines linking the frame section, circuit board and edge connector.
