Matched suite of 64 Gbd coherent optical components available from NeoPhotonics
22 February 2018
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.
NeoPhotonics demos 600G CFP2-ACO coherent module
22 March 2017
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
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.

As the pandemic underlines the value of the internet more than ever, its underlying technology is making one of its biggest transitions for years.
The data centre market is a particularly wide-ranging one, with one of the driving forces in recent years the emergence of the hyperscale data centre or cloud service provider.
As the world struggles to settle into the ‘new normal’, today’s optical networks need to be flexible in their architecture blueprint, while adapting to new technologies to provide the kinds of new capacity and service options to meet accelerated demand for higher bandwidth.
To address the undeniable growing demand for higher bandwidth, optical vendors have been playing their role with the development of various coherent optical transceivers for different areas of the market, each with its own set of design considerations.
The demand for bandwidth has unarguably skyrocketed in recent years, thanks largely to the increased appetite for online gaming, content streaming and social-media use.
The importance of reliable connectivity has never been more recognised than it is now. While ambitious targets have been in place across the world for fibre deployment for some time, the ongoing pandemic has served to push it to the forefront.
