In our paper, we selected several commercial optical transceivers, which consist of single-channel transceiver modules, parallel transmitting and receiving modules, and EPON OLT and ONU modules, to do the displacement damage (DDD) testing via 10MeV proton radiation method. The changing of current and receiver sensitivity of optical transceivers is discussed and analyzed. Based on the DDD testing exposed to total of 10¹¹ 10MeV protons at a dose rate of about 10⁷ protons/cm²/s, the performance of transceivers are discussed and analyzed, and all the modules can be worked well after annealing. Finally, based on the theoretical analyzed and testing results, this paper provides several design suggestions to improve the reliability for optical transceivers, which can be referenced by satellite system designation for various space missions.
