碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊科學與工程研究所 === 103 === With advances in information technology development, the data transmission volume also increased, such as high-definition video or high-speed image capture. Therefore, this paper proposes a complete fiber-optic communication platform, which provide at least 2 Gbps transmission capacity. The platform is using the optical link as the main form of wired transmission and through the PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnection Express, PCI-E or PCIe) to access the data of the optical link. The optical communication has the advantages of higher bandwidth, less signal degradation, lower electromagnetic interference (EMI) that is an effective way to solve the problems of transmission distance and capacity. The transmission platform is established by a computer, Xilinx VC707 and the fiber module. The main interface of the platform can be divided into the optical link and PCI-E. The optical link use two FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) interface and the fiber modules to make the two ends of the link, and using Aurora 8B10B to be the communication protocol; PCIE use Xillybus DMA core to responsible for the high-speed data exchange between the computer and the FPGA. After the entire communication platform is established, we will use the transmission program to loop the transmit data back in the original computer. The transmission tests can show the results that the platform can provide stable data transmission and transmission rate is more than 2 Gbps.
