SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Oclaro,
Inc. (NASDAQ: OCLR), a leading provider and innovator of
optical communications solutions, today announced volume production
of its lithium niobate (LiNbO3) Polarization Multiplexed
Quad Mach-Zehnder (PM-QMZ) modulators. These new modulators enable
data rates up to 400G on a single wavelength, allowing customers to
quickly and cost effectively transition to faster network
architectures for today's growing bandwidth demands.
"We are proud to be a market leader in delivering volume
production of single carrier 400G lithium niobate modulators," said
Beck Mason, President, Integrated Photonics Business at Oclaro,
Inc. "Oclaro has a proven history in delivering high-speed,
high-volume lithium niobate external modulators that customers need
to deploy high bandwidth coherent networks up to 400G. This
represents another key milestone highlighting our leadership
position in lithium niobate components for long haul and metro
applications."
About the Oclaro Single Carrier External Modulator
The
Oclaro single carrier PM-QMZ lithium niobate external modulator is
a high electro-optic bandwidth PM-QMZ device that integrates into a
hermetic package an input beam splitter, four parallel Mach-Zehnder
modulators configured for I-Q modulation, a polarization combiner,
and monitor photodiodes for power and bias control. Key features of
the modulator include the following:
- 3dB electro-optic bandwidth exceeding 30GHz.
- Extinction ratio above 25dB to enable complex modulation
formats.
- Insertion loss below 12dB for high efficiency.
- Supports L-Band operation similar to all other Oclaro
LiNbO3 modulators.
