NeoPhotonics to Conduct Three Demonstrations Enabled by New Products for High Speed 100G to 400G Telecom and Datacenter Networks
Pluggable CFP2-ACO, 45 Gbaud ICR for Coherent Transport and 56Gbaud
EML for 400G Datacenter Connections Will Be Highlighted
ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 21, 2016--
NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE:NPTN), a leading designer and
manufacturer of hybrid photonic integrated circuit based modules and
subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high speed communications networks,
today announced that it will conduct demonstrations of 100G to 400G
transmission for customers at the Optical Fiber Communications (OFC)
Conference in Anaheim, California, March 22 to 24. These demonstrations
are enabled by new products for 100G to 400G Telecom and Datacenter
networks, including a CFP2-ACO Class 3 pluggable module, a 45 Gbaud
integrated coherent receiver (ICR) and a 56 Gbaud Electro-absorption
Modulated Laser (EML).
First, the operation and OSNR performance of NeoPhotonics ClearLightTM
CFP2-ACO Class 3 pluggable coherent module will be illustrated in a
loop-back DP-QPSK 100G configuration. The pluggable module incorporates
NeoPhotonics leading ultra-narrow linewidth power efficient tunable
laser and high responsivity coherent receiver and is also suitable for
200G DP-16QAM operation.
Second, NeoPhotonics new 45 Gbaud micro coherent receiver will be used
with the company’s ultra-narrow linewidth tunable laser to show the BER
and OSNR performance of a single wavelength 400G Datacenter Interconnect
link utilizing a 45 Gbaud DP-32QAM configuration. This demonstration
also includes NeoPhotonics off-line digital signal processing
algorithms. Furthermore, this configuration can also be used for 200G
transmission over long haul reaches with 45 Gbaud DP-8QAM, and 300G
transmission over metro reaches with 45 Gbaud DP-16QAM.
Finally, a single wavelength 112 Gbps link enabled by NeoPhotonics new
56 Gbaud EML with integrated driver in a PAM4 configuration will be
shown for intra-datacenter connections of up to 2km. This configuration
can also be utilized to make a four wavelength 400G intra-datacenter
transceiver module.
“The drive for higher density optics has not reduced the requirements
for high performance, particularly as transmission speeds move toward
400G, making it imperative to select the best technology for each
function,” said Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO of NeoPhotonics. “These
demonstrations combine several elements of our advanced hybrid photonic
integration technology, including our hybrid silica/InP ICR, our
ultra-narrow linewidth tunable laser, as well as our integrated high
speed EML and driver, and illustrate how high performance can be
achieved by closely combining different technologies for different
functions in a compact form factor,” continued Mr. Jenks.
NeoPhotonics will also exhibit at OFC in booth 3301 its suite of
standard and small form factor PIC-based components for 100G to 400G
coherent line-side applications, along with its 100G client-side and
datacenter CFP2 and QSFP28 transceivers, its multi-cast switches for
“contentionless” ROADMs and its next generation transceivers for access.
