OIF Approves Expanded Tunable Laser Spec

The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) approved a multi-source Tunable Laser Implementation Agreement that addresses module physical (electrical) interface, communications interfaces and optical performance parameters for continuous wavelength (CW) tunable laser modules. The new agreement was passed in record time, going from proposal in February 2003 to completion last month. This new IA builds upon the OIF's first tunable laser specification, which was released in November 2002.http://oiforum.com
