Class 40 ICR Supports up to 600Gbps Single
Wavelength Data Transmission for Datacenter Interconnects
NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and
manufacturer of hybrid photonic integrated circuit based modules
and subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high speed communications
networks, today announced at the European Conference on Optical
Communications and Exposition (ECOC) held in Dusseldorf, Germany,
that it is sampling a Class 40 High Bandwidth Micro-Intradyne
Coherent Receiver (HB Micro-ICR) capable of supporting 64 Gbaud
symbol rates, which is double the bandwidth of standard 32 Gbaud
ICRs. The HB Micro-ICR supports higher order modulation up to 64
QAM, which when coupled with NeoPhotonics ultra-narrow linewidth,
external cavity Micro-ITLA laser, can achieve 600 Gbps over
Datacenter Interconnect distances of 80 km.
Similarly, using Dual Polarization QPSK modulation the HB
Micro-ICR extends the reach to 2000 km at 200Gbps, double the data
rate of standard coherent transmission. By using NeoPhotonics
advanced coherent components, system designers can increase the
bandwidth by up to a factor of six and dynamically change the reach
and modulation format while keeping the number of components
unchanged, enabling software defined networks (SDN) and greatly
reducing the cost per bit.
NeoPhotonics HB Micro-ICR is designed to support the Optical
Internetworking Forum Implementation Agreement for Micro-Intradyne
Coherent Receivers (# OIF-DPC-MRX-01.0). The HB Micro-ICR form
factor is designed to fit into both CFP2-ACO and CFP-DCO pluggable
modules. Both the HB Micro-ICR and the ultra-narrow linewidth laser
also exhibit the low electrical power required for use in pluggable
modules. NeoPhotonics also offers a 45 Gbaud (Class 30)
Micro-Coherent Receiver, which when used with the company’s
ultra-narrow linewidth tunable laser in a DP-32QAM configuration
achieves 400 Gbps in Datacenter Interconnect applications.
“Our new HB Micro-ICR enables coherent system designers to
greatly reduce the cost per bit by getting much higher data-rates
out of the same number of optical components while at the same time
flexibly changing the reach and data rate under software control in
SDN,” said Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO of NeoPhotonics. “This
exciting new product is made possible by our Advanced Hybrid
Photonic Integration technology and, along with our line of
Multi-Cast Switches, helps enable our customers to achieve their
vision of a completely flexible high speed network that can
dynamically adjust to changing needs,” continued Mr. Jenks.
NeoPhotonics will exhibit at ECOC in stand 562 its suite of
standard, small form factor and high bandwidth PIC-based components
for 100G to 600G coherent line-side applications, along with its
100G and 400G client-side and datacenter CFP2, CFP8 and QSFP28
transceivers and components, as well as its multi-cast switches for
“contentionless” ROADMs.
