36 NeoPhotonics QSFP-DD 400ZR modules operating in an Arista switch
NeoPhotonics has announced availability of its extended case temperature QSFP-DD 400G ZR modules.
Pluggable modules, expanded wavelength ranges and new system architectures seek to meet bandwidth needs, finds Andy Extance
Inphi and NeoPhotonics have completed an interoperability demonstration of OIF 400ZR-compliant coherent transceivers, operating over 120km of fibre.
NeoPhotonics has completed experimental verification of the transmission of 400Gb/s data over data centre interconnect (DCI) ZR distances in a 75GHz spaced dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) channel.
NeoPhotonics has shipped its new 400G capable ClearLight CFP2-DCO transceiver for end customer trials.
A new implementation agreement for low-power consumption will see small modules push technological barriers, finds Andy Extance
The data centre has created demand for an infrastructure that provides greater bandwidth and higher data rates, but how has this impacted the market for optical components?
NeoPhotonics has made available its suite of 64 GBd optical components for coherent systems operating at 600G and 1.2T, now shipping to customers.
Consisting of three critical optical components - a 64 GBd coherent driver modulator, 64 GBd coherent intradyne receiver and an ultra-narrow linewidth tuneable laser – the suite works together to enable customers to implement single channel 600G or dual channel 1.2T data transmission over datacentre interconnect (DCI) distances of 80 km.
Components and subsystems developer NeoPhotonics will demonstrate its pluggable coherent CFP2-ACO module designed for single-wavelength transmission at 400G and beyond at OFC 2017 in Los Angeles, on 21–23 March.
NeoPhotonics (booth 3017) will be showing a selection of products that have recently begun sampling to customers. First up are its 400G CFP8 transceiver modules, designed for data centre interconnect and client-side telecom applications over distances of up to 10km. As part of this development, NeoPhotonics recently announced an electroabsorption modulated laser (EML) with the driver integrated with the EML at the chip-on-carrier level.
Latin America continues to be a prolific market with very real possibilities of expansion for FTTH deployment.

The unique challenges brought by the pandemic and modern technology are driving significant and varied changes worldwide in how cable television network operators use technology.
Broadband networks are undeniably at peak demand, with the current global crisis providing the industry with its own ‘new normal’, with consumer’s altered perception of ‘normal’ bandwidth levels.
Complementary metal-oxidesemiconductor (CMOS) technology has come a long way since its invention in 1963 by Frank Wanlass during his time employed at Fairchild semiconductor.
While there has long been a recognised need for fair and reliable connectivity for all, the current pandemic has accelerated the urgency at which this must take place.
