At ECOC23 in Glasgow, Optomind and MaxLinear are demonstrating 800Gbps OSFP active optical cables (AOC) and SR8 optical transceivers.
Optomind has developed PAM4 100Gbps/lane SR optical transceivers and AOCs using MaxLinear's 5nm Keystone PAM4 DSP.Optomind says it selected MaxLinear's 5nm Keystone PAM4 DSP as the best-in-class solution for 800Gbps SR8 transceiver with high-performance and the lowest power consumption to meet the market demand. Both 800G-AOCs and 800G-SR8 transceivers are ready for customer sampling and shall be available in volume production by the end of Q4 this year.
Optomind's optical engine fully integrates optics and mechanics. And its patented prealigned OSA architecture enables a unique manufacturing process in a nimble and simple way without any alignment equipment.
