Abstract: Successful 10Gbps optical module design demands careful attention to the sources and effects of parasitic inductance. The addition of even 0.1nH of inductance can cause significant degradation to the rise/fall times, overshoot/ringing, and jitter in the optical output (for reference, a 0.5mm bond wire adds approximately 0.4nH).
