ICCSZ news (compile: Dylan) although silicon photonics in the gradual warming, but the Holland start-up company Photonics EFFECT still believe that the integration of Indium Phosphate technology has a great future. The company launched a series of 100Gbps optical transceivers based on fully integrated DWDM system level chip (SoC) from 20 km to 80 km metro access applications.
The company CEO James Regan said the company originated from the Eindhoven University of technology, has been in the past five years the development of system on chip. The system level chip integrates a passive and an active element, including a tunable laser. Regan also said that the company has a proprietary integration method, the first integrated active components on the Indium Phosphate wafer, etching wafers, and then add passive components by way of re growth. This is a very cost-effective packaging technology for CFP and CFP2 or even smaller packages.
Company integrated optical device functions as follows: adjusting the laser and high-speed photoreceptors, high speed regulator, channel monitor.
The company's first batch of optical module products are now beginning to sample. These modules using 10*10Gbps package and direct detection, mainly for the prequel, return and data center interconnect based on the application of DWDM metropolitan area. Regan said the company is also concerned about the application of NGPON2.
In the range of 40km to 80km 100 Gbps is a very potential market, the market is still not a relatively high price of the solution, so the next fight is the 100g solution.
