The implementation agreement supports DP-QPSK as a modulation format as specified in the OIF's 100G Framework Document and also specifies operating rates up to 32GBd. However, the IA strives to remain modulation format and data rate agnostic to maximize applicability to other future applications. "The transmitter IA is the first project completed from the Framework Document that defines one of the most complex components of the 100G DWDM transmission system," said Karl Gass of Sandia National Labs and the OIF's Physical Link and Layer Working Group vice chair. "The member companies are working together at this early stage in order to accelerate the adoption of 100G technology by defining common building blocks." Other 100G projects outlined in the 100G Framework Document include an Integrated Photonics Receiver, a Transponder-Electromechanical MSA and a Forward Error Correction project. http://www.oiforum.com 22-Mar-10   Learn How to Get Your Video on this Site Recent Optical News China Telecom to Accelerate FTTH and Mobile Rollouts Colt Deploys Infinera in Low-Latency European Backbone AppliedMicro to Acquire TPACK for Emerging OTN Hong Kong's PCCW Deploys Huawei's 40G OTN Level 3 Wins Networx Contract for Social Security Administration EXFO Adds Tunable DPSK Testing to its 40G/43G Solution PMC-Sierra Collaborates with Incognito Software on FTTx for MSOs VI Systems Ships First Circular VCSEL Arrays EXFO Boosts its Optical Spectrum Analyzer Russia's FORATEC Selects Ciena's CN 4200 EU's BIANCHO Project Targets Energy Efficient Photonic Components CALIENT and Freeport Offer Govt Teleconferencing NSN Supplies LH DWDM for First Communications NTT Adds 588,000 Optical Access Lines in Q2 EXFO Boosts its Blazer Multiservice Test Modules > More news...
