CyOptics Releases 40/100 Gbps Coherent Receivers

CyOptics announced the availability of its 40Gbps and 100Gbps Polarization-Multiplexed Quadrature Phase-Shift-Keying (PM-QPSK) Integrated Coherent Receivers for 40G and 100G coherent DWDM transmission systems. These optical Receivers expand CyOptics' growing portfolio of component solutions leveraging monolithic and hybrid Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs).



The receivers make use of CyOptics' extensive portfolio of high speed InP based balanced photo-detectors (PDs) and Silica Planar Lightguide Circuit (PLC) device technology.



Both device feature a very compact surface-mount package of 40mm length and less than 7mm height that also integrates the polarization splitters for signal and local oscillator.
CyOptics is ramping production for both the 40G and 100G receiver now with general availability in June 2011.http://www.cyoptics.com
