Fiber-optic communications component and subsystem maker Finisar Corp of Sunnyvale, CA, USA has introduced its CPRV422XA family of Class 40 high-bandwidth OIF Micro-ICR receivers.
The new family of 64 Gbaud capable receivers, in the micro-intradyne coherent receiver (micro-ICR) form factor, offers a reduced footprint while bringing the latest technology to market, enabling the next generation in coherent transmission systems targeting single-wavelength applications up to 600Gb/s data speeds, says Finisar.
The next generation of coherent optical systems will utilize high data rates up to 64 Gbaud and more complex modulation formats up to 64 QAM (quadrature amplitude modulation). The CPRV422XA is designed to support these data rates and modulation enhancements to enable next-generation systems for service provider and data-center interconnect applications.
"Finisar is continuing to invest in coherent communications technology. The CPRV422xA introduction is the latest in our discrete component product line to address high-bandwidth applications," says John DeMott, senior director of marketing. "In addition to receivers, we are also continuing to enhance the capabilities of our advanced coherent components, including integrated TOSA and ROSA, narrow-linewidth lasers, Mach-Zender modulators and related electronics."
The CPRV422XA Class 40 Micro-ICR is sampling now. The component is offered with an evaluation kit to support component and system integration testing.
This product, as well as the full suite of Finisar optical modules and components supporting datacom and telecom applications, is being displayed in booth #500 at the European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC 2016) in Dusseldorf, Germany (19-21 September).
