NeoPhotonics Announces Protest of 400 Gbps Transmission Over 800km in a 75GHz-spaced DWDM System through Its QSFP-DD Pluggable Coherent Module

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), the leading developer of silicon photonics and superior hybrid photonic integrated circuit-based lasers, modules, and subsystems for bandwidth-extensive, excessive-velocity communications networks, these days announced that it has verified that its 400ZR+ QSFP-DD coherent pluggable transceiver can efficaciously transmit at a four hundred Gbps information rate over a distance of 800 km in a 75GHz-spaced DWDM system with extra than three.5 dB of OSNR margin the optical signal. This 400ZR+ coherent pluggable transceiver unit is based on NeoPhotonics high overall performance coherent optics and its ultra-pure color-tunable laser and achieves a attain of 800 km while staying within the energy intake envelop of the QSFP-DD module’s energy specification. The Company believes 400ZR+ QSFP-DD modules will discover broad utility in the Cloud-primarily based Metro 5G networks and amplify use cases for IP over DWDM into metro-middle and regional networks.

This 800 km transmission demonstration was completed on NeoPhotonics Transmission System Testbed and applied 75 GHz spaced channels. The QSFP-DD uses NeoPhotonics Silicon Photonics based Coherent Optical Subassembly (COSA) and its ultra-slender linewidth Nano-ITLA tunable laser. The longer reach was enabled by utilizing the superior performance of those optical additives with a business virtual signal processor (DSP) and proprietary forward errors correction (FEC). The COSA reveals low insertion loss and coffee impairments, making green use of the optical signal. The Nano-ITLA tunable laser is well-known and shows the ultra-low phase noise and occasional electricity consumption. Additionally, these components permit NeoPhotonics 400ZR+ QSFP-DD transceiver module to perform at a case temperature of up to eighty degrees Celsius, which is ten tiers better than traditional telecom modules, thereby reducing air go with the flow necessities ensuing in lower fan speeds and reduced power for cooling in records centers.

NeoPhotonics QSFP-DD modules are in the very last levels of qualification and have surpassed 2000 hours of High-Temperature Operating Life (HTOL) and different essential tests according to Telcordia requirements. The Company expects those modules to be at General Availability (GA) in the second area of 2021.

NeoPhotonics 400ZR+ QSFP-DD transceivers are designed to perform in 75 GHz spaced DWDM structures using sixty-four Channel Arrayed Waveguide Grating MUX and DMUX filters, including those made by NeoPhotonics. In this situation, a completely loaded fiber working within the C-Band might offer a complete 25.6 Terabits in keeping with the second (Tbps) ability. To similarly maximize the statistics potential of optical fibers, NeoPhotonics has evolved a more incredible version of its extremely-low noise laser in a C++ LASER module, which has a tuning variety of 6 THz, permitting a total fiber ability of 32 Tbps the use of 400Gbps transceivers & 75 GHz channel space.

“We are excited to spread the operation of our QSFP-DD Intelligible transceiver into metro and regional packages on this 400ZR+ configuration,” said Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO of NeoPhotonics. “Advances in our ultra-pure mild tunable laser, our silicon photonics incorporated COSA and digital DSPs have inevitably reduced the dimensions, power, and fee of coherent transmission such that a coherent transceiver able to up to lengthy haul distances can in shape in the identical form factor as a current technology excessive density purchaser aspect pluggable module, such as a QSFP-DD. This has been a sea alternate for Data Center Interconnect networks, and we trust it will also deliver essential changes to metro and nearby networks,”

NeoPhotonics is a leading developer & manufacturer of lasers and optoelectronic answers that transmit, get hold of, and switch high-speed digital optical alerts for Cloud and hyper-scale data middle net content issuer and telecom networks. The Company’s merchandise allows cost-powerful, excessive-velocity over distance facts transmission and efficient bandwidth allocation in optical networks. NeoPhotonics continues headquarters in San Jose, California, and ISO 9001:2015 licensed engineering and production facilities in Silicon Valley (USA), Japan, and China
