Pluggable modules, expanded wavelength ranges and new system architectures seek to meet bandwidth needs, finds Andy Extance
II‐VI’s Waveshaper and WaveAnalyzer instruments were selected to field-test the live network trial of 800Gb/s transmission on a single channel for provider, Windstream.
II‐VI has extended its WaveShaper programmable optical processors product line for operation in the optical communications S- and extended L-bands.
Component, module, and subsystem vendor, II‐VI introduced a new pluggable optical line subsystem (POLS) platform on its booth at OFC.
II‐VI Incorporated is expanding the capacity of its 980nm pump laser production lines, including wafer fab and chip on carrier assembly in Zurich, Switzerland and in Calamba, Philippines, and pump laser module assembly in Shenzhen, China.
Components and subsystems developer II‐VI has unveiled its pluggable optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) for embedded network monitoring applications in carrier and data centre networks.
II‐VI, a provider of pump laser modules and micro-optics for optical amplifiers, has introduced new uncooled 980nm pump laser modules that feature patent-pending in-package wavelength stabilisation to enable optical amplification within small transceiver packages. These are increasingly required as high-bit-rate coherent transceivers continue to be designed into ever smaller packages to meet the needs of telecom carriers and cloud service providers for equipment with greater density requirements.
