II-VI Incorporated Unveils Industry’s First IC-TROSA 64 Gbaud Coherent Optics Subassembly for 400ZR QSFP-DD Datacenter Interconnects
PITTSBURGH, March 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- II‐VI Incorporated (Nasdaq: IIVI), a leader in coherent optics, today announced the introduction of its 64 Gbaud integrated coherent transmitter-receiver optical subassembly (IC-TROSA), the industry’s first, for the 400ZR standard in datacenter interconnects.
The rapid growth in transmission capacity requirements in optical backbone networks and between datacenters is driving the demand for next-generation transmission platforms that can scale more economically, with increasing power efficiency and in smaller form factors. II-VI’s IC-TROSA is a highly integrated coherent optics subassembly with an embedded optical amplifier that can deliver up to 0 dBm of output power in ultradense pluggable form factors, including OSFP and QSFP-DD.
“Building on the success of our integrated tunable transmitter-receiver assembly, we are now excited to introduce our next-generation integrated coherent optics platform, a giant leap in integration density and a new benchmark for the industry,” said Dr. Sanjai Parthasarathi, Chief Marketing Officer, II-VI Incorporated. “Our new IC-TROSA demonstrates the inherent power of a world-class indium phosphide technology platform that not only can lead the industry in the migration to 400ZR coherent optics, but also drive a broad range of use cases beyond what competing technologies can achieve, based on its highly differentiated performance in output power.”
The IC-TROSA can support various modulation formats of up to 16QAM at baud rates of up to 64 Gbaud in a flex-grid environment, with full C-band support.
II-VI will be honored as the Lightwave Innovation Reviews High-Score Recipient for the IC-TROSA at OFC 2020, March 10-12, at the San Diego Convention Center.
