SAN JOSE, Calif., June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumentum Holdings Inc. ("Lumentum"), an industry-leading provider of next-generation optical communications solutions, today announced the company will highlight its latest innovations for telecom, 5G wireless, cable and fiber access, and hyperscale data center networks at the virtual Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC) from June 7 – 11, 2021.
Attendees at the virtual exhibition will have an opportunity to watch live presentations on key topics and trends in the industry from company thought leaders, request a meeting with representatives, and discover digital content highlighting Lumentum's comprehensive optical communications portfolio including high-performance datacom laser chips, flexible coherent network transmission, next-generation TrueFlex® ROADM solutions, and ultra-high-reliability pump lasers.
High-Performance 400G CFP2-DCO Coherent Transmission Modules
Building on the success of its 200G CFP2-DCO coherent pluggable transceiver modules, Lumentum has announced its latest innovation—the 400G CFP2-DCO—to its high-performance coherent transmission portfolio. These modules enable next-generation data center interconnects (DCI) and metro/regional to long-haul coherent networks at bit rates of 100G, 200G, 300G, and 400G.
The new flex-coherent module supports all major industry initiatives including OpenROADM, OpenZR+, and OIF 400G ZR. It also adds numerous innovative proprietary modes when best performance is needed and cross-vendor interoperability is not. In addition, it supports L1 encryption, Link Layer Discovery Protocol, and Overhead IO channel. Currently, the 400G CFP2-DCO is shipping as beta samples with production release planned for the third quarter of 2021. To sample the 400G CFP2-DCO, contact a Lumentum representative at customer.service@lumentum.com.
High-Speed 100G PAM4 DML for up to 2 km Data Center Reach 400G+ Applications
Data center infrastructures are evolving toward 800G and beyond to address the exponential growth of intra-data center traffic, which requires cost-effective and power-efficient indium phosphide (InP) laser solutions at higher speed and reliability. In response, Lumentum has enhanced its latest 100G PAM4 (53 Gbaud) directly-modulated laser (DML) to expand the usage from 500 m for 100G DR and 400G DR4 and 100 m for 800G PSM8 DR4, to also transmit up to 2 km for 100G FR and 400G FR4 CWDM transceiver module applications.
These DMLs satisfy the needs of customers seeking lower cost and lower power consumption solutions by providing a smaller footprint with fewer components needed to operate in high-speed transceiver applications. To request beta samples of the new 100G PAM4 DML for 2 km applications, contact a Lumentum representative at customer.service@lumentum.com.
Expanded Capability for Industry-leading TrueFlex® WSS Solutions
Lumentum's comprehensive portfolio of wavelength selective switches (WSS) has further expanded to support all spectral bands, including C-band, L-band, and extended C-band, within all of its industry-leading WSS solutions that are at the core of next-generation colorless, directionless, and contentionless (CDC) and colorless, directionless (CD) ROADM architectures. Additionally, Lumentum has reinforced their exceptional manufacturing scale with production, agility, and flexibility to rapidly respond to changes in requested build configurations and spectral bands across any of its high-performance WSS products. Lumentum's best-in-class lead on WSS delivery continues to be a critical enabler for network operators worldwide as they resume buildouts of massively-scalable and flexible high-capacity optical networks.
