This article will analyze key performance parameters such as transmission rate, wavelength, numerical aperture (NA), output power, and receive sensitivity of optical modules. It will also discuss how to choose suitable optical modules based on practical requirements. The performance of optical communication systems is crucial to ensure efficient and reliable data transmission. Receiver sensitivity refers to the minimum input optical power required by the receiver to achieve a specified bit error rate (BER). Transmitter power characterizes the average optical power output from the laser under rated conditions, while receiver sensitivity indicates the minimum. The key performance indicators of the optical module can be measured from two aspects: the optical module transmitting end and the optical module receiving end.
