OneChip’s Bi-directional Optical Sub Assemblies (BOSAs) and final integration and testing of its fully packaged optical transceivers.
Fabrinet, a vertically integrated manufacturer, will provide manufacturing services for OneChip at its Pinehurst campus in Thailand. On a global basis, Fabrinet has more than 1 million square feet of manufacturing space at its facilities in Thailand, the People’s Republic of China and the United States.
Greg Reny, Senior Director of Business Development at Fabrinet, concludes, “We look forward to helping OneChip bring its breakthrough solutions to market globally. We are known for the quality and precision of our optical manufacturing, assembly and test processes, and we are excited to put our expertise to work for OneChip.”
40 and 100 Gbps CFP GaAs optical transceiver modules
for Ethernet The new modules employ the firm’s 850 nm gallium arsenide VCSEL and photodetector technology. They are designed to power next-generation capabilities that service providers are demanding
Emcore Corporation is introducing two new 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps form-factor pluggable optical transceiver modules for 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet short reach applications, respectively.
This highly flexible form-factor supports 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR10 optical interfaces with link distances up to 150 metres over multimode optical fibre and facilitates system design options including Ethernet rack-to-rack, ganged serial links, logic-logic data links, board-to-board and shelf-to-shelf configurations.
The SR4 CFP transceiver module is a 4-channel design with four synchronous 10.3125 Gbps electrical input lanes. The SR10 CFP transceiver module is a 10-channel design with ten synchronous 10.3125 Gbps electrical input lanes.
In both modules electrical signals are retimed by a multi-lane data clock recovery unit and then converted to optical signals using a multi-lane laser driver and an Emcore GaAs 850 nm wavelength VCSEL array. The optical signals are converted to electrical signals using an Emcore GaAs PIN photodetector array, along with a multi-lane transimpedance amplifier and are retimed and delivered to the host.
Both the Emcore SR4 and SR10 CFP transceivers are hot- pluggable and hot-swappable and have control and monitoring functions that are accessed through the microcontroller via a two-wire serial MDIO (Management Data Input/Output) port. The electrical interface consists of a 148-pin edge-connector compliant with the CFP MSA industry standard.
“These new CFP transceiver modules utilise our latest VCSEL and photodetector technology and are designed to power next- generation capabilities that service providers are demanding,”

comments Jaime Reloj, Emcore’s Vice President of Business Development.
“By leveraging our in-house optoelectronic component capability, we can optimise optical performance and tailor solutions to very specific customer needs. Emcore will continue to advance the technology for high-performance data and telecommunications and demonstrate the same quality, reliability, on-time delivery and competitive pricing our customers have come to expect,” continues Reloj.
Emcore were at the 2012 Optical Fibre Conference (OFC) at the Los Angeles Convention Centre between March 6th and 8th in the Corporate Village, suites 2555 and 2557.
Oclaro unveils new micro- iTLA and InP coherent receiver platform
The receivers employ indium phosphide integration technology to deliver reliability and are one of the first receiver solutions to package a signal power monitor diode
Oclaro has strengthened its 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps coherent optical portfolio with the introduction of a new micro-iTLA and 40 Gbps PM-BPSK modulator.
The company has also announced the volume production of its 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps PM-DPSK modulators and its coherent receiver platform.
By providing an expansive line of both coherent components and module solutions, Oclaro is enabling its customers to quickly and cost-effectively deliver next generation network equipment that provides scalable and flexible future proof architectures.
These products will be on display at the OFC/NFOEC show in the Oclaro booths #1957 and #2058.
Oclaro says it is well positioned to establish a leadership position in the high-bit rate 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps coherent markets, which analyst firm Ovum predicts to grow from $360M in 2011 to more than $2.1B in 2015. Coherent detection is widely considered the leading technology for enabling higher optical transmission speeds such as 100 Gbps because it delivers the scalability and flexibility needed for transmitting more bandwidth cost-efficiently over fibre optic networks.
As a result, network equipment manufacturers are rapidly embracing this detection format and are installing 40 Gbps coherent networks as a stepping stone to 100 Gbps or going directly to deploying 100 Gbps networks for long-term sustainability.
“PM-QPSK Modulators, coherent receivers and narrow line- width micro-iTLAs are the complete set of optical components that customers need for deploying high-speed coherent 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps systems,” says Robert Blum, Director of Product Marketing for the Oclaro Photonic Components
