Provides Low Power Consumption Solution for
4x25 NRZ 100G, 4x50 PAM4 200G and 8x50 PAM4 400G Applications
NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and
manufacturer of advanced hybrid photonic integrated circuit based
modules and subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high speed
communications networks, today announced a low power consumption 28
GBaud externally modulated laser (EML) with an integrated driver,
which is designed for client side 4x25 NRZ 100G, 4x50 PAM4 200G,
and 8x50 PAM4 400G applications. This new EML joins NeoPhotonics
family of EML lasers, which are currently shipping in high volume
for 100G datacenter and client side applications.
Datacenter operators and service providers are actively
deploying client side interface transceivers at 100Gbps and 200Gbps
-- and moving rapidly towards 400Gbps -- leading to ever increasing
demands for lower power consumption and smaller form factor
components. NeoPhotonics current suite of 28 GBaud EML lasers are a
leading technical and commercial solution for 100G client
interfaces and are shipping in high volume. In a typical 100G
client application, a stand-alone driver is needed between the
CMOS-based CDR IC and the EML to provide enough modulation voltage
swing to the EML. The driver typically consumes around one watt of
electrical power and occupies more than a square centimeter of
precious board space inside the 100G transceiver.
NeoPhotonics new 28 GBaud EML integrates a driver, which
utilizes NeoPhotonics low power linear GaAs amplifier technology,
with NeoPhotonics 28 GBaud EML at the chip-on-carrier, or CoC,
level. The CoC assembly fits into a four channel transmitter
optical sub-assembly, or Quad TOSA, designed for 100Gbps QSFP28 and
CFP4 form factors, eliminating the need for a separate driver on
the board. Customers can then directly link the CMOS-based CDR IC
to NeoPhotonics’ 28 GBaud CMOS drivable EML, and enjoy the benefits
of simplicity, low power consumption, and space savings. In PAM4
applications, the integrated linear driver makes NeoPhotonics’ new
CMOS drivable 28 GBaud EML an attractive option for 200Gbps and
400Gbps applications due to the simple and direct connection to the
PAM4/CDR IC.
“Our first in the industry CMOS drivable 28GBaud EML simplifies
100G, 200G, and 400G transceiver designs, provides a reliable
solution for an EML-based Quad TOSA, and allows a 100G QSFP28 to
meet the challenging target power consumption of 3.5W,” said Tim
Jenks, Chairman and CEO of NeoPhotonics. “This new product is based
on our advanced hybrid photonic integration technology, and
integrates our proven Indium Phosphide EML and Gallium Arsenide
driver technologies together to achieve significant power and size
reductions for the next-generation 100G, 200G, and 400G datacenter
and client side applications,” continued Mr. Jenks.
NeoPhotonics CMOS drivable EML is currently being designed into
NeoPhotonics next generation client side 100G, 200G and 400G
transceivers and will be available to external customers in the
second half of 2017. The new EML, along with NeoPhotonics broad
suite of products for line and client side 100G and beyond
products, will be displayed in Booth #3017 at the OFC Conference
and Exhibition in Los Angeles, California, March 21-23, 2017.
