Rome, Italy – September 24, 2018 – NeoPhotonics
Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and manufacturer of optoelectronic
solutions for the highest speed communications networks in telecom and
datacenter applications, today announced that it will showcase at the European
Conference on Optical Communications in Rome, Italy its suite of lasers and
analog ICs for uncooled, non-hermetic single laser 100G and 4 laser 400G links within
data centers. The product suite includes
Electro-Absorptively Modulated Lasers (EML)
for 2 km PAM4 based links and high power CW laser sources for 0.5 and 2 km
Silicon Photonics based links, along with the photodetectors, drivers and trans-impedance
amplifiers required.
Demand
for higher port density and lower cost per bit for optical connections inside
the data center is driving a technology shift to single-laser (lambda) 100Gbps
and 4-laser (lambda) 400Gbps using 4 level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4). EML based solutions are preferred for longer
reach, higher performance applications, and NeoPhotonics 53 Gbaud family offers
module designers a complete set of optical components with accompanying analog
electronic chips designed to achieve high
performance with low power consumption in small form factor
applications. The 100G/400G Component Suite from
NeoPhotonics includes:
·53GBaud UncooledCWDM4EML, which includes the option for integration with NeoPhotonics’ open
drain driver. With an uncooled operating temperature range from 20 to 70C
and the capability to operate reliably in “open-air” transceiver designs, thus eliminating
hermetic enclosures, this EML is a preferred transmitter solution for PAM4 based
FR4 2 km data center applications. Versions are also available at 1310 nm for
DR1 and DR4 500 meter applications.
·53GBaud Open
Drain Driver (ODD) for linear operation of EML lasers. With a typical 90mW
of power consumption per channel and small size, this high speed driver can be
co-packaged with the EML reducing power and increasing linearity and is well
suited for use in small form factor pluggable modules.
·53GBaud PIN
photodetectors. The side illumination structure of the PIN PD enables a
simple coplanar assembly with a mux/demux chip and TIA and is well suited for
compact modules.
·53GBaud Transimpedance
Amplifier (TIA). With low noise and a typical power consumption of 60mA
over a 3.3V rail, this TIA is well suited for receiver signal amplification for
up to 10km transmission.
In
addition, transceiver developers have also begun deployment of Silicon
Photonics based transceivers for industry standard MSAs such as CWDM4, CLR4 andPSM-4,
which has led to the need for custom, high power and non-hermetic laser sources
to drive these transceivers. To support this emerging Silicon Photonics eco-system,
NeoPhotonics has developed and qualified a line of high power, uncooled lasers
and laser arrays for several industry leading Silicon Photonics transceiver
manufacturers, as well as offering single and quad drivers for Silicon
Photonics modulators:
·High Power
40mW and 70mW non-Hermetic CW Laser Sources for Silicon Photonics based CWDM4
FR4 and 1310nm DR1 and DR4 Applications. These efficient, high power DFB
lasers can operate up to 75 deg. C and have completed the non-hermetic testing
compliant with the Telcordia GR-468-CORE, making them well suited for use in
non-hermetic Silicon Photonics based small form factor pluggable modules.
·53GBaud Quad
MZM drivers for Silicon Photonics modulators. This quad driver has a high
3.5Vppd output per channel and a typical 2.2W low power consumption for all
four channels designed for small form factor pluggable modules. This component is also available in single
driver configurations for DR1 applications.
“Our
complete suite of 53GBaud Linear Optical Components provides all needed optical
components for single laser 100Gbps transmitters and receivers, scalable to
400Gbps transceivers with CWDM4 wavelengths,” said Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO
of NeoPhotonics. “Furthermore, our
uncooled, high power CW DFB lasers and laser arrays are critical elements for
any 100G, 200G or 400G Silicon Photonics based transceiver. We are pleased to offer the lasers and
critical analog electrical components for both next generation data center
transceiver approaches,” continued Mr. Jenks.
NeoPhotonics
will exhibit its suite of components for high speed data center transceivers at
the European Conference on Optical Communications Exhibition here at the Fiera
Roma in Stand 426, September 24th to 26th, along with its
broad family of products for high speed applications.
In
addition, at 16:10 pm on Tuesday, September 25th Dr. Winston Way,
NeoPhotonics’ CTO Systems, will present a paper entitled “Next-Generation
Coherent Pluggable Transceivers in a CDC ROADM Based Optical Network” at the ECOC
2018 Exhibition Market Focus session entitled: “Optical Network
Agility/Software Defined Networks.”
