Effect Photonics intros pico tunable laser assembly QSFP28 100G ZR

Wednesday, February 22, 2023    

EFFECT Photonics introduced a Pico Tunable Laser Assembly (pTLA) to address the growing demand for 100G coherent transceivers in access networks. 

The new pTLA supports both commercial- and industrial-temperature (C-temp and I-temp) operating ranges and is designed specifically to address the 100G coherent network edge, The pTLA will allow coherent pluggables to be deployed more easily and cost effectively in the access domain and will feature optimal laser performance, size and power consumption for a standard QSFP28 form-factor. Furthermore, EFFECT Photonics’ new pTLA utilizes the existing microelectronics ecosystem to allow manufacturing at scale as well as complementary coherent products and services, such as DSPs for those providers in need of a complete transceiver solution.

“Today’s operators need a network edge aggregation strategy that offers the best combination of capacity, cost-effectiveness, and performance to evolve network access effectively, and 100G coherent pluggable optics offer just that,” said Roberto Marcoccia, CEO, EFFECT Photonics. “EFFECT Photonics’ new Pico Tunable Laser Assembly will be the only purpose-designed tunable laser assembly to serve this emerging market, helping to easily scale up network edge aggregation capacity and benefit from coherent technology.”
