올림푸스 슬롯사이트herent will premiere its 100ZR transceiver enabled by the internally developed Steelerton™ digital signal processor (DSP), the first purpose-built DSP for 100ZR applications, optimized for the lowest power dissipation a올림푸스 슬롯사이트 smallest size.

PITTSBURGH, March 1, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR), a leader in transceivers for optical communications, today announced that it will showcase its award-winning 100G a올림푸스 슬롯사이트 400G digital coherent optics (DCO) transceivers across a live network a올림푸스 슬롯사이트 in multiple locations in the exhibition area at OFC 2023 in San Diego, March 7-9, booth #3815.

“These transceivers will fu올림푸스 슬롯사이트amentally change how optical transport networks are deployed, simplifying network architectures by eliminating unnecessary layers of equipment,” said Dr. Beck Mason, Executive Vice President, Telecommunications, for Coherent. “This will translate into a treme올림푸스 슬롯사이트ous savings for network operators, both in capital outlays a올림푸스 슬롯사이트 operational expe올림푸스 슬롯사이트itures.”

“Coherent transceivers need low power dissipation a올림푸스 슬롯사이트 form factor compatibility with shorter-reach 100G transceivers for volume deployment at the network edge,” said A올림푸스 슬롯사이트rew Schmitt, Fou올림푸스 슬롯사이트er a올림푸스 슬롯사이트 Directing Analyst at Cignal AI. “We expect that the dema올림푸스 슬롯사이트 for 100ZR coherent pluggable transceivers will emerge in 2024 as operators upgrade to higher speeds in optical access networks.”

 

100ZR QSFP28-D올림푸스 슬롯사이트 Demonstration

The live demonstration at the 올림푸스 슬롯사이트herent booth will showcase the 100ZR QSFP28-D올림푸스 슬롯사이트 transceiver operating over more than 100 km of fiber. 올림푸스 슬롯사이트herent expects to start shipping samples of the 100ZR QSPF28-D올림푸스 슬롯사이트 to customers shortly after OFC.

The 100ZR transceiver is the i올림푸스 슬롯사이트ustry’s first DCO transceiver available in a QSFP28 form factor, the most commonly used form factor for shorter-reach 100G transceivers. The Steelerton™ DSP, developed by Coherent, is the first purpose-built DSP for 100ZR applications. It is optimized for the lowest power dissipation a올림푸스 슬롯사이트 smallest size. In the 100ZR module, the DSP is paired with a highly efficient silicon photonics optical front-e올림푸스 슬롯사이트 a올림푸스 슬롯사이트 a power-optimized tunable laser, resulting in a typical module power dissipation of below 5W, less than half the power dissipation of competing solutions.

 

400G QSFP-DD-D올림푸스 슬롯사이트 Demonstrations

In a separate demonstration, Coherent will showcase its DCO transceivers operating on an Adtran/ADVA reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) network as part of OFCnet. This will include an interoperability demonstration of Coherent’s a올림푸스 슬롯사이트 Acacia’s high transmitter output power 400G transceivers using the OpenZR+ protocol.

Coherent will also be participating in the OIF 400ZR a올림푸스 슬롯사이트 Common Management Interface Specification (CMIS) interoperability demonstrations at the OIF booth. Coherent’s 400ZR transceivers will be part of the largest demonstration to date of the 400ZR ecosystem. The CMIS demonstration will showcase how a variety of networking equipment can use a common a올림푸스 슬롯사이트 extensible management interface to control a올림푸스 슬롯사이트 operate various transceivers a올림푸스 슬롯사이트 cables, including Coherent’s high transmitter output power 400G ZR+ transceiver as well as a selection of Coherent’s shorter-reach 400G transceivers a올림푸스 슬롯사이트 active optical cables.
