SAN JOSE and SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumentum
Holdings Inc. ("Lumentum"), a market-leading designer and
manufacturer of innovative optical and photonic products, will
participate in partner demonstrations and highlight its
comprehensive portfolio of future-ready solutions at the Optical
Fiber Communication Conference (OFC) 2022 in San Diego from March 8
- 10, 2022 at the Lumentum booth #3415 and partner
booths.
400G Coherent Transmission Demonstrations
Lumentum will demonstrate its flex-coherent 400G CFP2-DCO
modules that enable next-generation optical transport networks and
data center interconnects with NTT Network Innovation Laboratories
at booth #5041 and Telecom Infra Project (TIP) at booth #3629.
NTT will demonstrate live 400 Gbps coherent transmission using a
C+L-band line system that will incorporate Lumentum's pluggable
400G CFP2-DCO modules, a cost-efficient solution to the
ever-increasing demand for capacity.
Additionally, TIP will demonstrate reliable optical
communication links in next-generation networks using Lumentum's
400G CFP2-DCO modules in a 400 Gbps OpenROADM interoperability
demonstration.
Demonstration of High-Power Lasers for Co-Packaged
Optics
In the Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) booth #5101, Lumentum
will showcase its ground-breaking 1310 nm distributed feedback
laser technology with a high-power continuous-wave (CW) prototype,
operating at 200 mW optical power, enabling OIF's multi-vendor,
co-packaged optics demonstration.
Continued Leadership in Direct Detect Tunable
Transceivers
- New 25G T-SFP28 Tunable Transceivers: Emerging
applications, such as 5G wireless fronthaul, require
high-performance tunable transceiver technology at 25GB/s. Lumentum
is well-positioned to address this market with its latest 25G
T-SFP28 product, now available to sample. Lumentum's T-SFP28
incorporates SmartTunable technology to simplify field deployment
tasks and leverages our substantial installed manufacturing
capacity to meet the anticipated rapid growth from 5G
applications.
- Industry-First SmartTunable Multi-Source Agreement
(MSA): Lumentum has formed the SmartTunable MSA with other
industry suppliers to enable standardization and interoperability
between multiple vendors. The Smart Tunable MSA will be released in
the coming weeks and will accelerate the adoption of direct detect
tunable transceivers. To learn more, visit
https://smarttunable-msa.org/.
- Secure High-Volume Manufacturing Capacity: Lumentum has
established and qualified high-volume T-SFP+ manufacturing
capabilities in multiple geographically diverse locations,
addressing customers' needs for supply security. To meet the
needs of new, rapidly growing applications for direct detect
tunable transceivers, including fiber deep and 5G wireless
fronthaul architectures, Lumentum is continuing to add additional
production capacity in its multiple manufacturing locations.
Innovative Transport Solutions Enable High Performance and
Capacity
- 16x26 TrueFlex® Contentionless
Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS): Building on the success of
Lumentum's 8x26 WSS solution enabling next-generation scalable
network architectures, the 16x26 contentionless WSS leverages
further innovations in switching technologies and manufacturing
automation to deliver the same performance and form factor as its
predecessor but is now optimized for even larger 16-degree nodes.
Samples are committed to lead customers and the product will be in
mass production in early 2023, supporting C, L, and extended-C band
wavelength plans.
- Enhanced High-Port-Count TrueFlex Twin WSS Platforms: In
its third generation, the Twin WSS platforms feature greater
performance and improvements related to core technology,
manufacturing processes, and supply chain robustness to
cost-effectively scale manufacturing. The platforms support
multiple port configurations ranging from Twin 1x9 up to Twin 1x35
and spectral bands of 5Thz (C, L), 6Thz (extended C, extended L) up
to 10Thz (integrated C+L) while delivering a uniformly high
standard of performance. By maintaining form-factor compatibility
with current products, the latest platforms assure existing
customers a seamless migration path to refresh and revitalize
customer systems' over their lifecycle for the next decade.
- ROADM Node-on-a-Blade: To further pave the way for
significant cost and space savings in next-generation networking
equipment, Lumentum has developed an innovative ROADM
node-on-a-blade by integrating optical switching, amplification,
and monitoring functionality from across multiple degrees onto a
single linecard. This disruptive step in the physical partitioning
of ROADM nodes is supported by reliability data gathered from
billions of hours of field operation of the discrete components.
Commercial deployment of the first customer specific ROADM
node-on-a-blade designs will occur in 2022 with additional custom
designs of increasing complexity to follow.
Enhanced High-Performance Datacom Laser Chips at Higher
Volumes
- 100G and 200G PAM4 Externally-Modulated Lasers (EMLs):
To enable next-generation hyperscale data centers to scale to
higher speeds and network capacity, Lumentum is significantly
expanding its manufacturing capacity for its latest
high-performance 100G and 200G EML chips. Lumentum's EML chips
allow customers to deliver high-speed modules at high volume while
maintaining high-quality link performance at a low cost and power
per bit. Samples of Lumentum's 200G EMLs are available today.
- 100G PAM4 Directly-Modulated Lasers (DMLs): For
demanding and cost-sensitive applications, Lumentum has optimized
its DMLs for 400G DR4/FR4 and 800G DR8/PSM8, improving bandwidth by
approximately 10% from previous generations. These compact chips
deliver increased device count per wafer and lower complexity
compared to EMLs, enabling cost-effective solutions to compete with
silicon photonic (SiPh)-based transceivers. Beta samples are now
available.
- CW Lasers: To enable SiPh-based transceivers for
next-generation datacenter applications, Lumentum is sampling its
uncooled and high-output power 75 mW CW laser. This laser leverages
Lumentum's leading indium phosphide technology platform to
integrate a semiconductor optical amplifier on chips, achieving the
needed high-output power at high-temperature to cover 4x100G lanes
with a single CW laser.
- Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs):
Lumentum 850 nm VCSELs for 25G NRZ per lane and 50G PAM4 per lane
applications are in volume production today with high-production
capacity and cost for high-volume transceiver applications. In
addition, Lumentum's 940 nm VCSELs and indium gallium arsenide
photodiode pairs enable low-cost, high-performance active optical
cable applications. Lumentum's 50G VCSELs are available to support
800G-SR4.2 transceivers. Samples for all four SWDM4 wavelengths of
Lumentum's VCSELs are also available.
