SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- NeoPhotonics
Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and manufacturer
of advanced hybrid photonic integrated circuit based modules and
subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high speed communications
networks, today announced general availability (GA) of its
Ultra-Narrow Linewidth Tunable C++ LASER™ Micro-ITLA,
which has a tuning range of 6 THz, covering the full "Super
C-band," which is 50 percent more spectrum than a standard 80
channel, 50 GHz spaced laser.
The C++ Laser™ supports full gridless tuning and
accommodates any channel spacing, including 50, 75, 100, 125, and
150 GHz. This new laser is based on the same proven and
reliable high performance external cavity architecture as
NeoPhotonics' industry leading Micro-ITLA product line. The C++
LASER™ maintains comparable ultra-narrow linewidth,
low phase noise and low power consumption, for which the current
product is known, over a full 6 THz tuning range.
New coherent transmission systems use higher baud rates (e.g.,
64 or 96 Gbaud) to enable a long haul 200 Gbps or 400 Gbps
transmission systems. However, these higher baud rate systems
require wider DWDM channel spacings, which result in a lower number
of available channels within a fixed total bandwidth, and therefore
the total fiber capacity is compromised. Similarly, Data
Center Interconnect and Metro Systems use these higher baud rates
to achieve data rates of 400 Gbps and above per channel and
encounter these same limitations.
The C++ LASER™ can tune over 80 channels with a 75
GHz per channel spacing, for example, to fully capture the increase
in fiber capacity generated by these newer modulation
approaches. Similarly the C++ LASER™ can tune
over 120 channels on a standard 50 GHz grid spacing. The
availability of this new laser dovetails with recent developments
in Fiber Amplifiers as well as NeoPhotonics C++
ICR™ Receivers and C++
CDM™ Modulators, completing the eco-system
necessary to support transmission over the Super C-band.
"We are pleased to announce GA of our C++ LASER, which along
with our C++ ICR and C++ CDM, enables an increase in fiber capacity
of up to 50 percent," said Tim Jenks, Chairman and CEO
of NeoPhotonics. "The ability of our C++ LASER to tune over
the full 6 THz range of the "Super C-band" is a testament to the
robustness of our External Cavity tunable laser technology, which
maintains industry leading linewidth and phase noise along with
high optical power output with low electrical power consumption
over the entire range," concluded Mr. Jenks.
