II‐VI Incorporated is presenting and exhibiting its latest product developments at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC) in San Diego, California, from March 5-7, 2019, in Booth #4312. The company’s Vice President for Strategic Marketing, Dr. Sanjai Parthasarathi, is also participating in an OFC Panel on High-volume Applications of 3D Sensing in Consumer and Automotive Markets on March 7.
New Products Showcase at OFC:
Wavelength Management Solutions for 5G Optical Access Networks:
- Twin 1×4/1×5 Edge Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) Modules: II-VI’s new edge WSS is cost optimized to meet the 100 GHz fixed grid and low port count requirements for reconfigurable wireless back-haul networks.
- O/E-band Inter-leavers: II-VI’s new inter-leavers leverage the vertical integration of crystal growth, precision surfacing, advanced coatings and micro assemblies to achieve a cost effective and compact solution for front-haul and back-haul networks.
- Wideband Wavelength Division Multiplexer (WDM) Filters: II-VI’s wideband filters feature a 3 dB bandwidth of 75 GHz that enables low-cost transceivers, with loose wavelength tolerances, to be deployed in cost-sensitive front-haul and back-haul networks.
Products for Undersea Networks:
- 800 mW High Reliability Pump Lasers: II-VI’s undersea pump lasers achieve the highest commercially available output power of 800 mW, with record-high electrical-to-optical conversion efficiency, enabling a significantly lower cost per bit of undersea transmission.
- Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) Modules: The ultra-high reliability of II-VI’s liquid crystal based WSS modules has been demonstrated with more than a decade of high volume deployments in terrestrial networks. II-VI’s liquid crystal technology enables low port count WSS modules to be deployed at branching points in undersea networks.
Lasers for Datacom Transceivers:
- VCSEL Arrays for 400 GbE: II-VI’s 8-element VCSEL arrays can be modulated at 56 Gb/s using 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) to achieve a combined 400 Gb/s over short reach multimode links.
