Coherent Pluggable Module Platform Supports 100Gbps and Beyond Data Rates with Single Wavelength Data Transmission for Datacenter Interconnects Through Long Haul Transmission Distances
NeoPhotonics’ ClearLight™ CFP-DCO platform is based on optical components with performance capabilities that have already been proven in high volume production. These include a high power tunable laser having the narrowest linewidth and the lowest power consumption in the industry, a low insertion loss modulator capable of higher order modulation, a high responsivity receiver and a low power consumption digital signal processor. These features enable the ClearLight™ CFP-DCO to deliver performance without compromise, as it offers both high optical performance and low electrical power consumption. The ClearLight™ 100G CFP-DCO provides a significantly higher transmitter OSNR by eliminating a booster EDFA to achieve the necessary output optical power level. This high transmitter OSNR can enable longer transmission distances and CDC ROADM operations.
The first release 100Gbps version uses a standard 100GE or OTU-4 interface which can plug directly into existing 100G CFP client-side slots to extend the range and capacity for metro and DCI applications. The module incorporates standard hard decision staircase forward error correction for interoperability, as well as proprietary soft decision forward error correction for high performance applications. A 200Gbps version utilizing 16-QAM is based on the same platform and utilizes the same high volume, proven coherent optical components.
