NeoPhotonics is showcasing its suite of products for 400 G coherent systems at the OFC Conference and Exhibition 2017 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California from March 21 to 23. Headlining this product suite is the ClearLight 64 Gbaud CFP2-ACO pluggable module, which incorporates its new generation of coherent optical components for 400 G applications. Also included in the 400 G coherent product suite are NeoPhotonics 64 Gbaud Micro Modulator (Micro-MOD), 64 Gbaud Micro Coherent Receiver (Micro-ICR) and ultra-narrow line width tunable laser. Its 400 G product suite offers solutions uniquely designed for the demanding requirements of higher-order modulation coherent systems.
64 Gbaud CFP2-ACO: This ClearLight CFP2-ACO pluggable coherent module uses the new generation of 64 Gbaud optical components to achieve 400 G single wavelength coherent transport for data center and metro applications. It runs at 64 Gbaud, twice the symbol rate of 100 G systems, and supports higher-order modulation of 16, 32 and 64 QAM.
64 Gbaud Micro-MOD: NeoPhotonics 64 GBaud, polarization multiplexed, quadrature micro-modulator features co-packaged InP modulator with linear, high bandwidth, differential drivers in a compact package to operate in 400 G and beyond pluggable modules that demand reduced size and power consumption requirements.
64 Gbaud Micro-ICR: NeoPhotonics Class 40 High Bandwidth Micro-Intradyne Coherent Receiver is designed for 64 Gbaud symbol rates, doubling the RF bandwidth of today’s 100 G ICRs. The 64 Gbaud Micro-ICR supports higher order modulation up to 64 QAM.
Low Profile Micro-TL: Its ultra-narrow linewidth external cavity tunable laser has been proven in volume production and is now configured in a smaller, lower profile package, which is designed to meet the stringent requirements for packaging density in pluggable modules. The external cavity laser has a significantly narrower linewidth, which is advantageous for higher order modulation formats of 16 QAM and above.
NeoPhotonics is also demonstrating its ClearLight 100 G CFP-DCO and the ClearLight CFP2-ACO for 400 G and 600 G coherent transport, as well as its 10 km CFP8 400 G transceiver for client and data center networks. It is also a partner to Ciena in expanding Wavelogic Ai technology for 400 G applications.
NeoPhotonics at OFC are exhibiting its suite of standard and small form factor PIC-based components for 100 G to 600 G coherent line-side applications, along with its 100 G and 400 G client-side and data center CFP2 and CFP8 transceivers, along with its multi-cast switches for “contentionless” ROADMs.
