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 it will showcase at the European Conference on Optical
Communications in Rome, Italy its
suite of lasers and analog ICs for uncooled, non-hermetic single
laser 100G and 4 laser 400G links within data centers. The product
suite includes Electro-Absorptively Modulated Lasers (EML) for 2 km
PAM4 based links and high power CW laser sources for 0.5 and 2 km
Silicon Photonics based links, along with the photodetectors,
drivers and trans-impedance amplifiers required.
Demand for higher port density and lower cost per bit for
optical connections inside the data center is driving a technology
shift to single-laser (lambda) 100Gbps and 4-laser (lambda) 400Gbps
using 4 level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4). EML based
solutions are preferred for longer reach, higher performance
applications, and NeoPhotonics 53 Gbaud family offers module
designers a complete set of optical components with accompanying
analog electronic chips designed to achieve high performance with
low power consumption in small form factor applications. The
100G/400G Component Suite from NeoPhotonics includes:
- 53GBaud Uncooled CWDM4 EML, which
includes the option for integration with NeoPhotonics' open drain
driver. With an uncooled operating temperature range from 20 to
70C and the capability to operate reliably in "open-air"
transceiver designs, thus eliminating hermetic enclosures, this EML
is a preferred transmitter solution for PAM4 based FR4 2 km data
center applications. Versions are also available at 1310 nm for DR1
and DR4 500 meter applications.
- 53GBaud Open Drain Driver (ODD) for linear operation of EML
lasers. With a typical 90mW of power consumption per channel
and small size, this high speed driver can be co-packaged with the
EML reducing power and increasing linearity and is well suited for
use in small form factor pluggable modules.
- 53GBaud PIN photodetectors. The side illumination
structure of the PIN PD enables a simple coplanar assembly with a
mux/demux chip and TIA and is well suited for compact modules.
- 53GBaud Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA). With low noise
and a typical power consumption of 60mA over a 3.3V rail, this TIA
is well suited for receiver signal amplification for up to 10km
transmission.
In addition, transceiver developers have also begun deployment
of Silicon Photonics based transceivers for industry standard MSAs
such as CWDM4, CLR4 and PSM-4, which has led to the need for
custom, high power and non-hermetic laser sources to drive these
transceivers. To support this emerging Silicon Photonics
eco-system, NeoPhotonics has developed and qualified a line of high
power, uncooled lasers and laser arrays for several industry
leading Silicon Photonics transceiver manufacturers, as well as
offering single and quad drivers for Silicon Photonics
modulators:
- High Power 40mW and 70mW non-Hermetic CW Laser Sources for
Silicon Photonics based CWDM4 FR4 and 1310nm DR1 and DR4
Applications. These efficient, high power DFB lasers can
operate up to 75 deg. C and have completed the non-hermetic testing
compliant with the Telcordia GR-468-CORE, making them well suited
for use in non-hermetic Silicon Photonics based small form factor
pluggable modules.
- 53GBaud Quad MZM drivers for Silicon Photonics
modulators. This quad driver has a high 3.5Vppd output per
channel and a typical 2.2W low power consumption for all four
channels designed for small form factor pluggable modules. This
component is also available in single driver configurations for DR1
applications.
"Our complete suite of 53GBaud Linear Optical Components
provides all needed optical components for single laser 100Gbps
transmitters and receivers, scalable to 400Gbps transceivers with
CWDM4 wavelengths," said Tim Jenks,
Chairman and CEO of NeoPhotonics. "Furthermore, our uncooled,
high power CW DFB lasers and laser arrays are critical elements for
any 100G, 200G or 400G Silicon Photonics based transceiver.
We are pleased to offer the lasers and critical analog electrical
components for both next generation data center transceiver
approaches," continued Mr. Jenks.
NeoPhotonics will exhibit its suite of components for high speed
data center transceivers 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."
