Acacia Communications’ Thought Leaders to Present at ECOC 2018
September 20 2018 - 9:00AM
Acacia Communications (NASDAQ:ACIA), a leading provider of
high-speed coherent optical interconnect products, today announced
that its thought leaders will be presenting invited papers and in
conference workshops, as well as leading the Lab Automation
Hackathon, at the European Conference on Optical Communications
(ECOC) taking place September 24 - 27, 2018 at the Fiera Roma in
Rome, Italy.
Acacia Communications experts will be on hand at ECOC to lead
discussions and share knowledge regarding technology and innovation
in optical communications. They will facilitate sessions covering
topics such as Digital Signal Processing (DSP), subsea
communications and lab automation.
Speaking Sessions:
Sunday, September 23
- 9:00 a.m. -12:30 p.m. – Christian Rasmussen, founder and vice
president of digital signal processing and optics, will share his
thoughts on the “Future scaling and capabilities of DSP algorithms”
in the Coherent DSP in Optical Communications Workshop.
- 9:00 a.m. -12:30 p.m. – Timo Pfau, principal DSP engineer, will
present on “What can DSP bring to optical access” in the DSP for
Next Generation Optical Access Workshop.
- 9:00 a.m. -12:30 p.m. – Hongbin Zhang, principal DSP engineer,
will present on the “Future of transponders for submarine
transmission” in the Submarine Systems Workshop.
Tuesday, September 25
- 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. – BinBin Guan, optical engineer, will lead the
Lab Automation Hackathon in which there will be eight
demonstrations for various common lab automation tasks.
Wednesday, September 26
- 1:30 p.m. – Timo Pfau will present his invited paper titled,
“High performance coherent ASIC” as part of the SC3 - Digital
Signal Handling Techniques for Optical Communication Systems
session.
AC1200 1.2 Tbps Demonstration at ECOC
During ECOC, Acacia will also demonstrate its AC1200 coherent
module with dual-core design enabling 1.2 Tbps error-free
transmission over fiber with 600 Gbps per wavelength. 600 Gbps
performance requires DSP and optics technology with both high
bandwidth and high performance. This high-capacity transmission was
designed to target the requirements for connections between large
data centers with reaches of 100km and above using standard
single-mode fiber. Acacia’s AC1200 module, which is based on its
internally developed silicon photonics technology, uses advanced
techniques to minimize implementation penalties and high-gain
soft-decision forward error correction (FEC) to improve performance
margin. Not only does this allow AC1200 to achieve high capacity
600 Gbps per wavelength transmission, but it also results in
improved performance at lower data rates, such as 200 Gbps and 400
Gbps, compared to existing solutions.
The Acacia AC1200 module supports transmission capacity of up to
1.2 Tbps in a footprint that is 40 percent less than the size of
the 5” x 7” modules that support transmission speeds of 400 Gbps
today. Based on Acacia’s Pico DSP ASIC, which utilizes two
wavelengths that can be configured to support from 100 Gbps to 600
Gbps capacity each, the Acacia AC1200 was also designed to support
a suite of advanced three-dimensional (3D) shaping features that
may be optimized to enable performance approaching theoretical
limits on a wide range of network configurations.
Acacia shipped its first AC1200 module customer samples in March
2018 and anticipates production to begin by the end of 2018.

demonstration during the ECOC conference, please contact us.
