Innolume, the leading provider of Quantum Dot (QD) laser diodes and modules covering the 1064nm to 1320nm optical spectrum, today announced that it will be presenting a technical paper on its revolutionary comb-laser at Photonics West in San Jose, California January 27th (Paper 7230-21, Session 5: Integration and Devices for Comms, 10:30 AM). The paper, "A single comb laser source for short reach WDM interconnects," describes how Innolume's laser can power Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) for high-channel-count, short-reach, low cost interconnects in computer server rooms as well as inside computers.
Short-reach WDM offers a needed alternative to parallel optics with its proliferation of underutilized fiber. Data are presented on 10 Gb/s external, error-free modulation of each channel, and the first demonstration of open eye diagrams from spectrum slices for 1.25 Gb/s direct modulation. The latter has unique potential for WDM-PON applications. The paper, presented by VP of Engineering Greg Wojcik, includes key technical authors from Innolume's Santa Clara, California office and its design and fabrication facility in Dortmund, Germany, in addition to authors from HP Laboratories' Information and Quantum Systems group in Palo Alto, California.
