Fabless provider of analog semiconductor solutions, Inphi, has rolled out new 40 Gbps coherent systems at the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) 2010 in Italy.
The new solutions are designed to resolve bandwidth bottlenecks that occur in networks. The coherent systems also improve throughput and reduce latency in computing settings. The solutions help in rolling out next-generation communication infrastructure and developing 100 Gbps and 40 Gbps networks.
Inphi has begun sampling the 1352TA, which is a differential linear transimpedance / variable gain amplifier (TIA/VGA) for 40 Gbps detection receiver applications. The Inphi 1352TA is compatible with the 2850TA, a 100 Gbps coherent TIA. It offers 40 Gbps coherent receiver users the capability to provide enhanced Optical Signal-To-Noise Ratio performance over a diverse optical input range. The 1352TA also consumes low-power and delivers less noise and high dynamic range.
Inphi has also rolled out the 2811DZ and the 2850TA that are used for 40 Gbps Dual-Polarization Binary Phase Shift Keying (DPBPSK) and coherent detection.
Inphi’s VP of Networking, Loi Nguyen stated that service providers need to surmount the fiber’s dispersive nature and attain longer distances to reduce OPEX. Nguyen added that the company’s 100 and 40 Gbps coherent technology allows service providers to overcome the challenges.
