OZ Optics has introduced a new, variable split ratio fibre splitter/coupler.
With advances in silicon technology gathering pace, Keely Portway discovers three main ways they are being leveraged to enable the evolution of coherent optical engines
Silicon technology enhancements are enabling the evolution of coherent optical engines along three vectors. The first vector maximizes performance by leveraging the most advanced optical features, the second minimizes space and power, and a third integrates systems-level functions that were previously located in the shelf or card.
Market research firm Cignal AI has published its latest Transport Applications Report, covering the fourth quarter of last year.
A team of researchers from China Mobile Research Institute has successfully tested the 1,100km transmission of 800G systems.
Zayo Group has committed to providing increased optical network capacity and reach between Dublin, Ireland and Amsterdam, Netherlands in what the firm calls an ‘important step’ towards enabling 400G in the region.
II-VI Incorporated is to acquire Coherent for approximately $7.01bn.
How will the next generation of optical networks provide the capacity to support unwavering increases in traffic, and does one solution really ‘fit all’? Keely Portway finds out
Optoscribe has launched a monolithic glass chip for low-loss coupling to silicon photonics (SiPh) grating couplers.
This paper describes how silicon photonic (SiPh) opto-electronic integration and packaging, with its improved RF performance, is designed to enable next-generation coherent transmission beyond 100Gbaud and provide network operators with the ability to avoid “half-step” capacity upgrades and allow them the full step upgrades they need without sacrificing reach or stranding network bandwidth when migrating from current-generation solutions.
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.
A glance at the current market for test and measurement equipment, and some of the latest developments available
Alex Blowers, chair of the Independent Networks Cooperative Association (INCA) speaks to Fibre Systems about the work being undertaken by altnets, the challenges they face and how the association is playing its part to help
Emma Atkins asks how we, as an industry help to close the gap in the education, attraction and retention of women in fibre
