"The significant performance, cost, size and power dissipation advantages this solution offers have been enabled by the combination of the Bookham indium phosphide building blocks and the MLSE technology provided by ClariPhy. We look forward to delivering significant cost savings to network equipment manufacturers, and seeing widespread deployment of this application over a greater percentage of installed fiber routes," said Chris Clarke, Vice President of Strategy and Chief Engineer at Bookham.
"We are very excited to contribute to Bookham's milestone product," said Dr. Paul Voois, Co-founder and CEO of ClariPhy. "By delivering the proven benefits of MLSE in a small form factor 300 pin transponder, Bookham has established a new benchmark in power and performance for dispersion-tolerant modules, and has presented a significant value proposition to telecom equipment providers and carriers. We commend Bookham on its achievement."
The CL1012 IC delivers the known benefits of MLSE - improved tolerance to chromatic dispersion (CD), polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and nonlinear distortion, impairments that are prevalent in telecom networks - in a 10x10 mm(2) package that dissipates less than 2 watts of power, thereby enabling these benefits for the first time in a small form factor 300 pin transponder. Carriers deploying the CL1012 in their optical modules will realize both opex and capex savings by reducing or eliminating expensive and bulky optical dispersion compensation equipment, avoiding the need for fiber characterization, and enabling the use of a greater percentage of their installed fiber.
ClariPhy will demonstrate its MLSE ICs in a private suite at the OFC/NFOEC conference (www.ofcnfoec.org) in San Diego, California on March 22-26, 2009. To arrange to see the demo at OFC, please contact Oswin Schreiber at 858-531-7012 or oswin.schreiber@clariphy.com.
