Luxtera 100G-CWDM2 Optical Transceiver At OFC 2017
2017-03-26
Luxtera announces the sampling of its 100G-CWDM2 QSFP optical transceiver module at OFC 2017. The LUX45202 aims to offer customers
superior performance and reliability at a price point with the aim to position itself as a leading 100G duplex solution on the market.
"Cisco is always looking for the best possible optics for use in its platforms, and silicon photonics has long been seen as a critical element
for 100G data centre systems," said Bill Gartner, VP and GM at Cisco. "Cisco is excited to see Luxtera delivering high-density, low-cost
100G data centre solutions offering disruptive opportunities for our cloud and enterprise customers."
"Innovation is what drives us at Luxtera. We were the first company to deliver a silicon photonic transceiver to the market. Now,
we are proud to continue our silicon photonics industry leadership by being the first to announce a 100G-CWDM2 duplex QSFP optical
module solution," said Greg Young, President and CEO of Luxtera. "Not only does this product provide a competitive solution for 100G
networking today, but by successfully integrating wave-division multiplexing and PAM-4 modulation into our silicon photonics chipset
it puts into practice key technical developments that will drive Luxtera towards 400G optics and beyond."

012019-10With the continuous development of 5G communication technology, 100G modules are gradually becoming popular. We know that there are many kinds of packages for 100G optical modules. From 2000 to now, the optical module package types have been rapidly developed. Its main package types are: GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, SNAP12, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, CFP, CXP. In the fast-developing network era, some 100G optical modules avoid the risk of being eliminated, and upgraded and revised with the wave of the Internet, such as 100G CFP optical modules.

012019-101. What is the CWDM SFP? The CWDM optical module is an optical module using CWDM technology to implement the connection between the existing network device and the CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer, CWDM optical modules can increase network capacity by transmitting multiple data channels with separate optical wavelengths (1270 nm to 1610 nm) on the same single fiber.

012019-10AOC is the abbreviation of Active Optical Cables, which is called Active Optical Cables in Chinese. AOC active optical is to encapsulate two optical modules and cable together. Because the medium of transmission in the middle is optical cable, AOC optical module, which contains laser devices, has a higher price for DAC. However, its optical aperture is not exposed, it has high reliability, and its working distance can be customized for a long distance of less than 100 meters.

012019-10Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology is capable of transmitting data in an optical fiber using bit wavelength parallel transmission or string line transmission using the wavelength of the laser.It is widely used in different fields of communication networks, including long-distance backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), residential access networks, and local area networks (LANs).The DWDM optical module is the optical module that uses this technology, so the DWDM optical module has high bandwidth and long-distance transmission characteristics.
