236. What does it take to engineer and mass-produce a reliable parallel optics module… Or is it good enough to just have a good VCSEL and PIN array?

Oral

Parallel optics modules are complex hybrid solutions that incorporate chip design of the VCSEL and PIN arrays plus optics design of the lens; a packaging design to provide thermal management and environmental protection; and an electrical subassembly that includes the IC and firmware. All of this needs to be designed to operate reliably over a long lifetime at worse case conditions. This is...
