40GE CFP Optical Transceiver
Highlighting Finisar's presence at ECOC will be the world's first public demonstration of an operational 40 Gigabit Ethernet (40GE) module in the new pluggable CFP form factor. The demonstration will consist of a working prototype of a 40GE LR4 CFP optical transceiver module, transmitting Ethernet traffic error-free over 10 km of single mode fiber. Finisar's 40GE LR4 complies with the 40GBASE-LR4 optical interface as defined in the IEEE P802.3ba standard, internally multiplexing four CWDM wavelengths running at 10.3 Gb/s each. The CFP form factor is essential for next-generation Ethernet networks as it is currently the only pluggable form factor capable of supporting this interface for various datacom and telecom applications, including enterprise switches, router to transport links, and test equipment connectivity. The CFP module will be demonstrated using EXFO's FTB-85100G 40G/100G Ethernet Tester. In addition, EXFO will also demonstrate this tester at their booth using Finisar's SR4 version of the 40 GE CFP modules. Visit EXFO booth #711 for more information.
10 Gb/s CML(TM)-based XFP Transceiver
Finisar will also be demonstrating full interoperability between 10 Gb/s CML(TM)-based DWDM XFPs and EML-based DWDM XFPs over 100 km of optical fiber. Compared to EML solutions, CML(TM) XFPs offer improved OSNR performance and a broader dispersion tolerance range of up to +3200ps/nm without the use of dispersion compensation modules. These transceivers have an inherently high SBS (stimulated Brillouin scattering) threshold and support 50 GHz spacing for both ITU C-band and L-band channel plans. CML(TM) XFP's are capable of supporting narrow-tunability to reduce supply chain complexity. Finisar will begin production of CML(TM)-based DWDM XFPs by the end of 2009.
Edge Wavelength Processors (EWP) and WaveShaper S-Series Optical Instrumentation
Finisar will showcase two new optical devices based on its innovative Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) technology. Attendees will be able to see how the full-featured Edge Wavelength Processor 1x2 Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) provides the same flexible programmability and reliability as Finisar's existing Dynamic Wavelength Processors (DWP). Its small size and low power consumption make it ideal for applications at the network edge.
Also on display will be Finisar's WaveShaper S-Series of Fully Programmable Optical Processors for optical R&D and production test of 40 and 100 Gbps systems. The WaveShaper's unique ability to generate arbitrary filter transfer functions through control of both amplitude and phase characteristics makes it ideal for system and component testing, optical pulse shaping and control, and researching high-speed optical technologies.
"Our focus on developing key technologies, such as our CML(TM) and patented LCoS optical engine, enables Finisar to bring to market innovative products that increase performance, ensure reliability, and enable altogether new applications," said Rafik Ward, Vice President of Marketing at Finisar. "Combined with our high volume manufacturing capabilities, this means that we can bring new technologies to market wrapped in an attractive value proposition."
Finisar will also have on display equipment from its wide portfolio of optical products, including its latest transceivers/transponders, WSS ROADMs, advanced optical components, passive devices and active optical cables.
