2.5Gbps, 850nm VCSEL Transmitters Application Bulletin 224 OPV300 Series VCSEL Reliability Data The Optek Quality Assurance System provides a means to monitor, control and correct product quality on a real-time basis. Each product family that Optek produces is tested extensively prior to manufacturing release for quality and reliability. Optek’s ongoing commitment to quality and product improvement ensures that reliability will be maintained throughout the product’s life cycle. The OPV300 series VCSEL transmitters were designed to provide a high degree of performance and reliability. The data contained in this report serves to validate the reliability of these components and stands as Optek’s commitment to continuous product improvement.

End point failure criteria is a catastrophic failure or when the product demonstrates a drop in optical power of greater than 2 dBm at IF = 12mA. 2. MTTF is the total devices hours divided by either the number of failures or unity if there are no failures. 3. Failure in time (FIT) is equal to the number of failures expected in one billion device hours. For example, 1 FIT = 1 failure per 1,000,000,000 devices hours. Optek reserves the right to make changes at any time in order to improve design and to supply the best product possible.
