Title: Do we have termination for optical interconnects?
Post by iVenky on Apr 20^th, 2016, 12:41am

I have a basic question regarding optical interconnects. Like electrical serial links, do we need to have termination resistors like 50 ohms for optical interconnects assuming that the electrical-optical conversion (and vice-versa) blocks are placed near the chip without any long electrical links?
