ABSTRACT:
A storage information system is disclosed for keeping archival information on the individual active optoelectronic components that are used in telecommunication equipment. The system involves enclosing a nonvolatile memory chip inside the hermetic package of the active optoelectronic component. A memory chip is used to keep the relevant information about the active optoelectronic component such as serial number, part number and specifications. Sensors can also be included inside the hermetic package to monitor the operating conditions of the optoelectronic component. The information system is capable of storing information that is relevant to the component reliability such as: hours of operation, maximum current or voltage, and maximum temperature. The information storage system has the advantage that the archived information is intimately associated with the optoelectronic component thereby lessening the likelihood that information is lost or tampered with. The information system eliminates need for keeping paper records on individual optoelectronic components. It also provides a means for determining if the optoelectronic component was operated outside its specified operating limits. The users of optoelectronic components can also access the information system as needed for the purposes of repair or maintenance of telecommunications equipment.
