    The main trade show for the large optical module industry is the Optical Fiber Conference (OFC), that is held annually in southern California. Other prominent shows for the industry include ECOC in Europe and FOE in Japan. OverviewAn optical module is a typically hot-pluggable optical transceiver used in high-bandwidth data communications applications. Optical modules typically have an electrical interface on the side that connects t. There have been multiple variants of the electrical interface of optical modules that have been used over the years. The earliest forms of optical modules had an analog electrical interface. In the transmit dir. Many different forms of optical modulation and multiplexing have been employed in optical modules. The most common modulation technique historically has been or NRZ.
