At #OFC24, OIF hosted its latest pluggable coherent optics demonstration, showcasing the latest advancements in 800ZR, 400ZR and ZR+ optics interoperability. The demo highlights include the first public 800ZR multivendor interop; high transmit power, OpenZR+ over a 1000km, multi-span network; OpenROADM/ITU-T over that same network; and 400ZR collocated on the single-span network with 800ZR. Karl Gass, Physical and Link Layer Working Group Optical Vice Chair from OIF, provides some highlights:
- The demonstration of a single span demo with eight channels at 400 ZR and four channels of 800 ZR, showcasing the actual optical spectrum of both the 400 and 800 ZR traffic.
- a multispan demo featuring Raman amplification over 1000 kilometers, with six more channels and one channel of open rodm application.
- The use of new Corning smf28 ultra low LOF fiber in one direction and standard smf28 in the other, with both terminal RMS and a set of equalizer RMS to balance the channels in the middle.
