Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (NASDAQ:AMCC), a global leader
in computing and connectivity solutions, BrPhotonics and MACOM
Technology Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ:MTSI), today announced the
world’s first successful demonstration of 100Gb/s PAM4 single
wavelength (lambda) technology over single mode fiber. This
solution features AppliedMicro’s 16nm FinFET 100Gb/s PAM4 DSP,
BrPhotonics’ newest ultra-high bandwidth TFPS modulator and MACOM’s
industry leading high bandwidth, low noise transimpedance amplifier
(TIA). The successful demonstration illustrates that the complete
eco-system for 100Gb/s over a single wavelength technology is ready
today, with deployments expected in 2017.
Single wavelength 100Gb/s will transform the market
for 100Gb/s and 400Gb/s intra-datacenter interconnects by enabling
deployments of 100Gb/s QSFP, 400Gb/s double density QSFP and
800Gb/s CFP8 modules. For 100Gb/s, this technology reduces the
number of lasers to one and eliminates the need for optical
multiplexing. For 400Gb/s implementations, only four lasers are
needed, representing a major opportunity for data center operators
to reduce capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operating expenses
(OPEX) with an extremely compact module form factor.
“As datacenter and access network developers demand
lower costs and higher port density, we’ve seen huge market
interest in our single wavelength PAM-4 technology,” said Omar
Hassen, Associate Vice President at AppliedMicro. “AppliedMicro’s
technology is fundamental in enabling 400Gb/s connectivity in a
QSFP family of transceivers. This is a feat that has not been
achieved previously and our demonstration in partnership with MACOM
and BrPhotonics underscores the strength of our technology and the
innovation that we’re able to deliver to end
customers.”
“This joint achievement was a very important step
forward by the industry in providing state of the art solutions for
next-generation data center interconnects. Thanks to APM and MACOM,
we, at BrPhotonics, are very pleased in showing our 100 GHz Thin
Film Polymer on Silicon (TFPS) Mach-Zehnder Modulator (MZM)
technology to the world,” said Júlio Oliveira, BrPhotonics'
CEO.
“MACOM is proud to partner in this demonstration,”
said Gary Shah, Vice President, High-Performance Analog, MACOM.
“This 56 Gigabaud TIA, developed in silicon, demonstrates our
leadership in physical media devices as we enable the next
generation of data center optical interconnects.”
“The industry requires significantly lower cost
optical 100Gb/s connections for data center and access network
applications and will be moving to 400G in data centers during
2018/19. Single wavelength PAM4 100Gb/s promises a cost effective
solution for 100Gb/s and enables high density 400G connections in
the data center. This demonstration shows that this technology is
coming faster than many people think,” said Simon Stanley, founder
and principal consultant at Earlswood Marketing Ltd, and analyst at
large with Heavy Reading.
AppliedMicro, BrPhotonics and MACOM are showcasing
live demonstrations of the new technology in AppliedMicro’s Booth
MR6, at ECOC 2016 taking place at the CCD Congress (Stockumer
Kirchstraße 61, 40474 Düsseldorf, Germany) from Sept. 19-21,
2016. AppliedMicro, BrPhotonics and MACOM would like to thank
CPqD for their support of the demonstration.
