SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Oclaro,
Inc. (NASDAQ: OCLR), a leading provider and innovator of
optical communications solutions, today announced photonic
integrated coherent transmitters (ICTs) and intradyne coherent
receiver (ICRs) for 400G and 600G applications. These
high-performance components can be configured for multiple data
rates, enabling customers to cover a wide range of network
applications from data center interconnects (DCIs) to ultra-long
haul transmission. Oclaro will be showcasing these two new products
at this week's ECOC Exhibition in its booth #268.
"With our ICR and ICT product offerings, customers will be able
to design high-performance coherent systems that are both flexible
in the bandwidth offered per port and cost competitive by
maximizing the data that can be carried on a single wavelength,"
said Beck Mason, President, Integrated Photonics Business Unit at
Oclaro, Inc. "These new components leverage Oclaro's proven
expertise in photonic integration and indium phosphide technology,
enabling Oclaro to continually move the bar on performance, density
and low power."
About the 64Gbaud ICT
The 64Gbaud ICT combines an
ultra narrow line width laser with a high-bandwidth dual QPSK Mach
Zehnder Modulator to support flexible baud rates up to 64Gbaud and
64-QAM modulation. This enables transmission from 100G to 600G.
Built in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), a tunable filter
and a variable optical attenuator (VOA) eliminate the need for
external optical components and simplifies assembly while enabling
operation in colorless networks. The ICT provides a local
oscillator (LO) feed with +12dBm output power for optimal receiver
performance.
About the 64Gbaud ICR
The 64Gbaud ICR is a fully
integrated coherent receiver that supports flexible data rates from
100G to 600G. It can operate at rates up to 64Gbaud with
modulation schemes such as 64-QAM.
The 64Gbaud ICR has an integrated monitor photodiode (MPD) and
VOA to support single channel and multichannel applications in
colorless networks. It is compliant with the form factor specified
in OIF Implementation Agreement, OIF-DPC-MRX-01.0.
The 64Gbaud ICR almost doubles the bandwidth without changes in
responsivity relative to 32Gbaud parts. This enables Oclaro's
64Gbaud ICT-ICR pair to meet link budgets in existing networks
while more than doubling the capacity. The compact form factors and
integrated functionality (no external optical components needed) of
the 64Gbaud ICT and ICR pair make them suitable for the stringent
size requirements on next generation 1.2Tb SLEDs.
Oclaro expects to sample its 64Gbaud ICR and ICT product
offerings in calendar quarter Q4 2017.
About the 43Gbaud ICT and ICR
Oclaro's 43Gbaud ICT and
ICR have been deployed in high volume for applications up to
250G/wavelength worldwide. These components are now available for
use in compact form factors such as CFP-DCO and CFP2-ACO. The
highly integrated 43Gbaud ICR/ICT offers industry leading
performance with no need for external optical components such as
erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA), VOA's or splitters.
