1. Group 2 - Project Update April 1, 2004 Tyler Helble

2. Progress Report Finalized TX/RX Board Design Ordered TX/RX Boards from Express PCB Ordered Passives, VCSEL, and PD Soldered components Tested TX/RX Aggressive and Non- Aggressive Revised Gantt Chart Published Midterm Report

3. TX/RX Board Design

4. Aggressive Design Standard Design

5. PCB Board – Solder Side

6. PCB Board – Ground Plane

7. PCB Board – VCSEL, PD, Passives PD Hamamatsu S5973 VCSEL Lasermate Hamamatsu S5973

8. PCB Board – Soldered Components PD VCSEL

9. TX/RX Test Results Initial Tests Revealed no power to TX chips. Board was getting hot. Found solder link between power and ground, etched it out. Retested and obtained decent eye results using the probe. (VCSEL not attached yet)

10. TX/RX Test Results – using probe

11. TX/RX Test Results Received visible eye on Agilent osciliscope.

12. TX/RX Test Results RX board powered up, chips receiving power Aligned fiber using XYZ stage in lab No signal from the SMA connector Tried to detect signal with probe, no luck

13. TX/RX Test Results Using the XYZ Stage to align The fiber and PD

14. Future Plans Solder VCSEL and test today Test PD separately to double check pins/light detection Pray
