At this week's ECOC in Glasgow, Lumentum is showcasing its latest solutions, including:
- 800G ZR+ and 0dBm 400G ZR+ Transceivers: Lumentum 800G ZR+ and 0dBm 400G ZR+ compact transceivers, which are crucial components for connecting data centers, enable IP over DWDM by directly plugging into switches and routers. These transceivers, available in QSFP-DD and OSFP form factors and utilizing Lumentum's new 130+ GBaud Smart TROSA, offer high output power and extended reach for metro and regional networks. Sampling of the transceivers will begin in December 2023, with official release expected in calendar year 2024.
- InP-based 130+ GBaud Smart Transmitter Receiver Optical Sub-Assembly (TROSA): This advanced optical component enables data rates of up to 800Gbps on a single wavelength, allowing for a seamless transition to faster network architectures that can support increasing data traffic from emerging AI and ML applications. Lumentum will showcase this innovative technology within the Lumentum 800G ZR+ demo at their stand. This product is available for sampling now, complementing the nano-iTLA, CDM and ICR optical components that are already available and are currently being operated by multiple customers at up to 150 Gbaud.
- M11 Series, Uncooled 980 nm Pump Modules: These modules are compact, have low power consumption, comply with Telcordia GR-468-CORE standards, and offer wavelength selection for optimal spectrum control with high power output. They are well-suited for small form factor and pluggable Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA), high bitrate and high channel-count EDFAs, and CATV distribution. The M11 series pump modules are now available for purchase.
- CPO/ELS Technology: Lumentum's ultra-high power, 1310 nm distributed-feedback laser (DFB) will be demonstrated at over 400 mW optical power ex-fiber at 25°C. These new ultra-high power 13xx lasers will enable higher bandwidth for AI and ML applications by using co-packaged optics and external laser source solutions, as well as silicon photonics transceivers for the next generation of data centers.
- OIF 400ZR+ Interoperability and CMIS demonstrations: At the OIF booth, Lumentum is participating in OIF's 400ZR Interoperability demonstration through the integration of its 400ZR+ QSFP-DD and OSFP transceivers. These transceivers enable high-speed data transmission over long distances. The demonstration aims to show how optical module manufacturers are reducing power consumption and complexity in data center interconnects, while promoting interoperability.
"As the technology landscape evolves at a breakneck pace and the relentless need for data-intensive applications persists, we’ve designed our products to support the increased level of efficiency and performance that’s essential in this new era," emphasized Wupen Yuen, President, Cloud and Networking at Lumentum. “At ECOC, we’re showcasing cutting-edge innovations that draw upon our decades of photonic expertise, with solutions that empower our customers to stay at the forefront of this dynamic environment."
In addition to the solutions on display, Brian Smith, Lumentum Senior Principal Engineer, will deliver a Market Focus presentation on October 4 from 13:20 – 13:35 entitled “The 6th Generation of Fiber Optic Communications: Carrier and Spatial Division Multiplexing (CSDM).” Smith will provide his insights on the next era of optical networking, which Lumentum introduced at its LITE 2023 Investor Event in March of this year.
