SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- NeoPhotonics
Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and manufacturer
of advanced hybrid photonic integrated circuit based modules and
subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high speed communications
networks, today announced that it has shipped its new 400G capable
ClearLight™ CFP2-DCO transceiver for end customer
trials. This is the industry's first transceiver module able
to deliver as much as 32 Terabits of capacity per fiber –
significantly higher than today's 200G CFP2-DCO capacity or the
emerging 400G CFP2-DCO capacity– by using internal optics that can
support 80 channels of 64 Gbaud data at 75 GHz wavelength channel
spacing combined with the latest generation of 7 nm node DSP
(digital signal processing) technology for superior OSNR and power
consumption. This new product effectively increases the capacity of
an optical fiber by as much as 50 percent over standard systems at
comparable distances.
This ClearLight CFP2-DCO is the first in a series of
coherent module solutions based on NeoPhotonics' patented Photonic
Integrated Circuit (PIC) platform, which will enable cloud
operators and carriers to create optical interconnects with
significantly greater capacity and density with reduced complexity
in the high-capacity DWDM ("dense wavelength division multiplex")
optical networks used in hyper-scale cloud and telecom
infrastructure applications.
NeoPhotonics ClearLight CFP2-DCO module incorporates
several industry leading coherent solutions from NeoPhotonics in a
pluggable module, including its new extended tuning range
Ultra-Narrow Linewidth Tunable C++ LASER™ Micro-ITLA. It
also features the company's leading high bandwidth 64 Gbaud C++
ICR™ Receiver and C++ CDM™ Modulator. This module
supports tuning across the full "Super C-band" and provides up to
50 percent more spectrum and resulting capacity than standard
modules.
The ClearLight CFP2-DCO module tunes to 75 GHz spaced
wavelength channels when operating at 64 Gbaud and 16 QAM to
support 400G transmission in 400ZR and 400ZR+ modes for Cloud DCI
(data center interconnect) and Metro telecom applications.
NeoPhotonics also provides arrayed waveguide gratings for
multiplexing and de-multiplexing with 75GHz channel spacings and
filter responses optimized for 64 Gbaud coherent signals, including
for "Super C-band" use.
For Long Haul and Regional applications, this CFP2-DCO
module utilizes 64 Gbaud and QPSK modulation to deliver 200G per
wavelength transmission. This is made possible by an
industry-leading OSNR of less than 14 dB and enhanced performance
to enable substantially longer reaches than standard 32 Gbaud, 16
QAM systems.
If the application requires that a 50 GHz channel wavelength
spacing be used, this CFP2-DCO module can tune over 120 channels
and operate at 200G with an OSNR of less than 16 dB, again
substantially better than today's standard CFP2-DCO transceivers.
The module is compliant with the
OIF-CFP2-DCO-01.0-Implementation Agreement and has a superior watt
per gigabit performance. The module will also be available in
standard C-band tuning range for applications that do not require
the significantly higher capacity per fiber that this module
enables.
"This new module joins our ClearLight™ CFP-DCO
transceiver line, which has been shipping since 2017, and is our
first in a series of DCO Modules for 400G transmission and
providing the benefits of extended C++ tuning range. We are
pleased to announce these initial shipments of our
ClearLight CFP2-DCO coherent transceiver modules to
customers," said Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO
of NeoPhotonics. "This new series will utilize our leading 64
Gbaud Silicon Photonics or Indium Phosphide PICs, together with our
new Tunable C++ LASER Micro-ITLA. This will increase the
capacity and distance performance in a network well above that
available in systems today," concluded Mr. Jenks.
