ROME, Sept. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- NeoPhotonics
Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and manufacturer of
optoelectronic solutions for the highest speed communications
networks in telecom and datacenter applications, today announced
that its suite of 64 GBaud optical components for coherent systems
are currently being used by multiple major customers to develop
systems with 600G per wavelength transport capacity.
The suite consists of three critical optical components: a 64
GBaud CDM (Coherent Driver Modulator), plus a 64 GBaud ICR
(Coherent Intradyne Receiver) and finally an ultra-narrow linewidth
tunable laser. These components work together to enable
customers to implement single wavelength 600G or dual wavelength
1.2T data transmission over datacenter interconnect (DCI) distances
of 80 km.
Three leading OEM customers have elected to use all three of
these components in their development, while additional customers
have elected to use a subset of the NeoPhotonics 64 GBaud coherent
component suite. The components also support 400G over metro
distances of 400-600 km using 64 GBaud and 16 QAM or 200G over
long-haul distances of greater than 1000 km using 64 GBaud and
QPSK.
64 GBaud components double the symbol rate over standard 100G
(32 GBaud) coherent systems. Higher symbol rates
increase data capacity while maintaining superior OSNR, spectral
density and reach performance. All of these components
are available in compact form factor packages suitable for
pluggable modules and compact daughter cards.
64 GBaud CDM: NeoPhotonics 64 GBaud, polarization
multiplexed, quadrature coherent driver modulator (CDM) is shipping
in limited availability and features a co-packaged InP modulator
with a linear, high bandwidth, differential driver in a compact
package designed to be compliant with the anticipated OIF
Implementation Agreement.
64 GBaud Micro-ICR: NeoPhotonics Class 40 High Bandwidth
Micro-Intradyne Coherent Receiver (Micro-ICR) is in volume
production and is designed for 64 GBaud symbol rates, doubling the
bandwidth of standard 100G ICRs. The compact package is designed to
be compliant with the OIF Implementation Agreement
OIF-DPC-MRX-02.0.
Low Profile Micro-TL: NeoPhotonics ultra-narrow linewidth
external cavity tunable laser features very low phase noise and
power consumption and has been proven in volume production. It is
now configured in a smaller, lower profile package that is
compliant with the OIF Implementation Agreement
OIF-MicroITLA-01.
In addition to these shipping products, NeoPhotonics has
introduced its next generation of coherent products which reduce
the size of coherent optics approximately in half, while featuring
the same high performance required for 400G and 600G per
wavelength. The Coherent Optical Subassembly, or COSA,
integrates NeoPhotonics 64GBaud coherent driver-modulator with its
64 Gbaud coherent receiver in a very compact form factor.
Alongside this, NeoPhotonics introduced a "Nano" ultra-narrow
linewidth external cavity tunable laser, which again cuts the size
approximately in half, while featuring industry leading linewidth
and phase noise and with low electrical power consumption.
These next generation products were demonstrated in operation at
the Optical Fiber Conference exhibition in March, both individually
and incorporated into a compact 400G pluggable module.
"We are working closely with customers to provide a matched
suite of high speed optical components for 600G per wavelength to
enhance system performance and reduce time to market," said
Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO of
NeoPhotonics. "With our next generation highly integrated
COSA, operating at 64 Gbaud and beyond, and our Nano-Tunable Laser,
we are working to enable highly compact pluggable 400G modules,"
continued Mr. Jenks.
NeoPhotonics will exhibit its suite of coherent components for
600G and 1.2T at the European Conference on Optical Communications
Exhibition here at the Fiera Roma in Stand 426, September 24th to 26th,
along with its broad family of products for high speed
applications.
In addition, at 16:10 pm on Tuesday,
September 25th Dr. Winston Way, NeoPhotonics' CTO Systems, will
present a paper entitled "Next-Generation Coherent Pluggable
Transceivers in a CDC ROADM Based Optical Network" at the ECOC 2018
Exhibition Market Focus session entitled: "Optical Network
Agility/Software Defined Networks."
