SHOW PREVIEW OFC 2015
French technology institute Leti (booth 635) will present its latest silicon photonics research results at OFC 2015 this year. Te company will focus on key topics including ‘heterogeneously integrated III-V on silicon distributed feedback lasers at 1310nm’ and hybridisation of electronic and photonic integrated circuits. In addition, Hughes Metras, Leti’s North
American vice president for strategic partnerships, will participate in a panel discussion on ‘State of the Market/Industry: 2014 in Review,’ beginning at 12.30pm on March 24 in the Exhibit Hall. His topic is ‘Te Promises of Silicon Photonics: Current Status and Future Trends.’ Leti staff will be available at booth 635 in the
Exhibit Hall for discussions and interviews on these or other topics facing the telecoms industry today.

Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) (Booth 613) members are leading the market again in a live technology demonstration at OFC this year. Te OIF Technology Showcase 2015 ‘It’s Happening Now – 56G Electrical Interfaces and Pluggable Coherent Optics’ will highlight the OIF’s ground-breaking technology work. Te technology showcase event will also
demonstrate the OIF’s CFP2-ACO technology, a coherent optical transceiver module in a CFP2 form factor, designed to maximise faceplate density and minimise install costs for metro/ regional DWDM and data centre applications. Additionally the OIF will provide a number of
Phoenix Photonics (Booth 2104) will be exhibiting its range of fibre polarisation and mode management components and instrumentation. In support of its few-mode fibre (FMF) component technology, Phoenix will be showing its latest product in the FireBird range, the few-mode erbium-doped fibre amplifier (FM-EDFA). Te amplifier is available for two-mode
(LP01, LP11) and four-mode (LP01, LP11, LP21, LP02) operation. Based on multi-laser core pumping, the amplifier provides low noise with high gain and good gain flatness across all modes. Te amplifier has been
demos and presentations throughout the show including static displays of equipment aimed at developing the ecosystems for 56G electrical interfaces and pluggable coherent optics including modules, test equipment, connectors, compliance boards, DSPs, drivers, transimpedance amplifiers and components from many of the forum’s vendors.

Xilinx (Booth 729) will demonstrate several products at OFC. In particular Xilinx will be showcasing its optical transport and Ethernet solutions, the Generation Ahead 28nm All Programmable devices, and next-generation 20nm UltraScale devices. Tese products, which include 400 Gigabit
ProLabs (Booth 2705) will be showcasing its optical and copper transceivers, direct attach cables (DAC) and active optical cables (AOC) at OFC. Products available on display include CFP 100G LR4, CFP2 100G LR4 and 10G SFP+ tunable optical transceivers, and there will be a live demonstration of hybrid-coded copper cable into OEM switches. ProLabs says it offers a complete solution – high quality products, which are reliable, robust and cost effective.

Ethernet (GbE), 4 x 25GbE, CPRI over OTN and 2 x 100G MuxMapSAR reference design, address the high-density, scalability and flexibility requirements for applications in optical transport, carrier Ethernet and data centre interconnect. Xilinx will also be showcasing its new 100G IEEE 802.3bj RS-FEC LogiCORE IP solution in multiple interoperability demonstrations throughout the show floor. Join Xilinx on March 25 at 2pm (Expo Teater
3 #2647) as they talk with Ixia about surmounting the many obstacles to efficient 400GE testing by relying on Xilinx All Programmable devices to get their 400GE tester family to market quickly.

engineered into a robust 19-inch rack instrument format with microprocessor-based laser control through a simple USB interface. Te rest of Phoenix Photonics’ spatial division multiplexing (SDM)
range will also be on show including fibre couplers, fibre-based photonic lantern multiplexers/demultiplexers, and
mode converters for use in both laboratory and final system integration. Te company will also display its full range of polarisation control products including the in-line fibre polarimeter and microprocessor controlled polarisation controllers.

assemblies (ROSAs), compatible with a CFP4/ QSPF28 form factor. Te ROSA yields superior performance in a robust and reliable design, the company claims. Measuring 18 x 6.5 x 6mm and with a typical power consumption of barely 330mW, the ROSA sets a standard for the next-generation pluggable transceivers in data centre and LAN applications. Te ROSA incorporates optical de-multiplexer,
integrated four PIN detectors and a quad-array trans-impedance amplifier (TIA). It receives parallel optical WDM signals, each propagating at 28.3Gb/s over a single optical fibre. Te ROSA modules are currently sampling and volume production will start in Q3 2015.

Arden Photonics (Booth 2409) designs, manufactures and sells instruments and
components for the optical fibre and laser industries. Featured products at OFC 2015 will be the ‘ModCon’ mode controller and the MPX-1 encircled flux meter. Measurements of loss and bandwidth in
multimode fibres are known to be highly dependent on the modal condition of the light source used for the measurement. Te ModCon mode controller is designed to ensure standardised modal launch conditions in multimode optical fibre. Other products include launch condition
analysers for real-time measurement of encircled flux, high magnification interferometers for optical fibre end face inspection, optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) lead-in boxes and custom optical fibre measurement systems.
