Finisar Introduces Industry’s Smallest Coherent Optical Assembly for High-Density Line Card and Transceiver Designs at OFC ...
March 13 2018 - 8:00AM
Finisar (NASDAQ:FNSR) today introduced a new product family,
complementing its line of coherent components and ACO (Analog
Coherent Optics) transceivers. This family, called the
Integrated Tunable Transmitter and Receiver Assembly (ITTRA), is
the industry’s smallest fully integrated coherent optics assembly.
It is designed for easy customer integration into coherent line
cards or DCO (Digital Coherent Optics) transceivers, enabling
customers to accelerate their time to market and reduce program and
development costs. The ITTRA will be demonstrated at OFC from
March 13-15 at the San Diego Convention Center in Finisar’s booth
#3713.
In a footprint that is 70% smaller than the size of
a CFP2 module, the ITTRA provides the same functionality as a
CFP2-ACO. All key building blocks of an ACO interface
(tunable laser, optical amplifier, modulators, drivers, coherent
mixer, photodiode array, and TIAs) are incorporated in a single
optical sub-assembly, which is combined with a miniature controller
board that provides customers a standardized management
interface. Since the ITTRA is a fully calibrated and tested
assembly instead of a disaggregate set of components, it yields
operational cost savings for the line card or module integrator
because test times of the end product are greatly reduced.
“Customers that have previewed this product
acknowledge the exceptional level of integration achieved in
Finisar’s ITTRA, and we have a tremendous amount of interest in
this product due to its performance, compact footprint, and low
power dissipation,” said John DeMott, Senior Director of Marketing
at Finisar. “A turn-key solution like the ITTRA, greatly reduces
the development effort for the line card or module integrator,
allowing them to rapidly respond to new market opportunities.”
The demonstration at OFC 2018 shows the 32Gbaud
ITTRA transmitting and receiving data at 200 Gb/s using DP-16QAM
modulation. The product will be sampling in the second quarter of
2018.
In addition, Finisar is demonstrating the
WaveShaper® A Series of Programmable Optical Processors with the
newly released WaveShaper App revision 1.3. This software supports
arbitrary power splitting on up to 16 ports with ratios of up to
100 to 1. Finisar will also provide a technology
demonstration of a WaveShaper processor covering the extended C+L
band with a total wavelength range larger than 100 nm. Arbitrary
filtering of attenuation and phase is supported across the entire
range.
