VCSEL Transmitters
OPV200 Series Reliability Data
Description
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 extensively tested prior to manufacturing release for quality and
reliability. An ongoing commitment to quality and product improvement insures that reliability will continue to progress
throughout the product’s life cycle.
The OPV200 series VCSEL transmitters were designed to
provide the high a degree of performance with equal level of
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.

Notes:
1. MTTF is the total devices hours divided by either the number of failures or unity if there are no failures.
2. 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.
3. 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.
