TIMs are vital in optimizing the performance, reliability, and longevity of optical components, such as silicon photonics transceivers in data centers. At Thermal Live Spring 2025, Henkel provided valuable insights into the growing computational demands in data centers and the associated thermal stress risks, highlighting how their thermal interface materials are addressing … [Read more...]
Opto-electronic Transceiver Modules, a System Design Perspective
Introduction Small Form Factor (SFF) optical transceiver packages for use at 1-2 Gbits/s data rates have been described by several authors [1-5]. These rely on dual miniature optical connectors such as the MT-RJ or the LC to provide optical-component case widths as small as one centimeter. Passive alignment of the optical fibers with the active optical devices is achieved with … [Read more...]
