NeoPhotonics Adds Reduced Size NLW Laser And ICR To Its Suite Of PIC-Based Optical Components For 100G Coherent Transport
Compact PIC Narrow Linewidth μITLA and Small Form Factor ICR Enable
Higher Port Density On 100G and Above Coherent Line Cards and
Transponders
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 23, 2013--
NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and
manufacturer of photonic integrated circuit, or PIC, based
optoelectronic modules and subsystems for bandwidth intensive high speed
communications networks, today announced that it will be exhibiting its
suite of small form factor Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) based
optical components for 100G Coherent Transport at the European
Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC) in London, England,
September 23-25.
These small form factor products are designed to meet the requirements
of high port density 100G coherent systems and to scale to 200G and 400G
applications using higher order modulation schemes.
NeoPhotonics is a leading supplier of Narrow Linewidth Tunable Lasers
(NLW-TL) and Intradyne Coherent Receivers (ICR), which are key
components in the 100G Coherent Transport systems currently being
deployed in growing numbers around the world. NeoPhotonics now adds new
small form factor versions to its current optical components for
coherent systems. The first new product is a narrow-linewidth,
micro-Integrable Tunable Laser Assembly (micro-ITLA), which is designed
to reduce the footprint by more than a factor of three and to reduce
power consumption compared to current generation ITLAs. Furthermore,
NeoPhotonics’ micro-ITLA is designed to support the high optical output
power and the narrow linewidth required for next generation coherent
network architectures. The second product is a Small Form Factor
Intradyne Coherent Receiver (SFF-ICR), which is less than half of the
size of currently shipping ICRs. The SFF-ICR has the option of an
integrated VOA on the signal path and a monitor photodiode (MPD) to
simplify board level integration. This versatile device is well-suited
for both single incoming channel and multiple incoming channel
applications.
“Photonic Integration has played a major role in enabling the current
generation of coherent systems which are now transforming the optical
communications landscape, and we are proud of the contribution
NeoPhotonics has made to this sea change,” said Tim Jenks, Chairman and
CEO of NeoPhotonics. “As exemplified by these new products, we are
utilizing our Photonic Integration technology to bring our customers the
benefits of reduced size, reduced power consumption and higher levels of
integration and performance,” continued Mr. Jenks.
On Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 11:40 am, Dr. Winston Way, Chief System
Architect of NeoPhotonics, will present a talk entitled “Photonic
Integrated Circuits for 400 Gigabit and 1 Terabit Coherent Transport” in
the “Optical Integration” Session of the Market Focus forum as part of
the ECOC Exhibition.
NeoPhotonics will exhibit its suite of standard and small form factor
PIC-based components for 100G coherent line-side applications, along
with its 100G client-side CFP and CFP2 transceivers and its next
generation transceivers for access networks at Stand 606 at the European
Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC), ICC London ExCeL, London,
England, September 23-25.
