SHOW PREVIEW OFC/NFOEC 2014


Networking on the Bay OFC/NFOEC 2014 Technical Conference


9 to 14 March 2014 Moscone Convention Center, San Francisco


are high-speed microwave photodiode modules designed for direct optical-to- electrical conversion of RF-modulated optical signals. Te optical input is supplied through a single- or multimode fibre pigtail. Model PQW20A-L provides a typical bandwidth of 26 GHz. Te Albis photodiode inside this unit is designed to operate in the wavelength region from 1260 to 1620nm. Short wavelength model PQW30A-S comes with a multimode fibre and has a typical bandwidth of 33 GHz. Te high performance Albis GaAs photodiode used inside this device is optimised for wavelengths ranging from 800 to 860 nm. www.albisopto.com


OFC/NFOEC, taking place from 9 to 14 March 2014 at the Moscone Convention Center, San Francisco, California, is the largest global conference and exposition for optical communications and networking professionals. For nearly 40 years people have been coming from all corners of the globe to meet and greet, teach and learn, make connections and move business forward for this one week each year. OFC/NFOEC attracts the biggest names in the field, offers key networking and


partnering opportunities, and provides insights and inspiration on the major trends affecting the industry. From technical presentations to the latest market trends and predictions, OFC/NFOEC is a one-stop-shop for those looking to get the latest products and information. Here, we round up some of the exhibitors that will be at the show.


Agilent Agilent will be announcing and demonstrating new and current cutting-edge


products at OFC: 86100D DCA-X with new internal precision time base for high channel- count test; 32 Gb/s high-performance BERT for 100GbE RX testing; component test solutions in the 1.3 µm wavelength band; real multi-carrier signal analysis with a 4 x 63 GHz Optical Modulation Analyzer. Agilent will also held two short courses


provided by our experts: named SC369 – Test and Measurement of Complex Modulated Optical Signals. Te first will provide solid understanding of how complex modulated optical signals are created and how the signal quality of complex modulated signals can be quantified. Te second provides a thorough

review of how classic NRZ signals are characterised using oscilloscopes, Bit-error- ratio testers, and jitter analysis instruments including tips and techniques to get accurate results and avoid common errors. www.agilent.com


Albis Albis Optoelectronics is a leading designer, developer and manufacturer of high-speed photodiodes.


For more than 10 years, the company has been offering the broadest portfolio of Telcordia qualified InP and GaAs photodiodes for datacom and telecom applications in the industry. At the upcoming OFC, Albis will present its hermetically packaged, microwave photodetectors up to 30 GHz. Te PQW series


Emcore Emcore will be presenting its component solutions for 40/100/400 Gbps coherent transmission systems


featuring the micro-ITLA and ITLA Tunable Laser Assemblies, as well as products for 10 Gbps metro and long-haul DWDM networks featuring its Tunable-XFP Transceiver. In addition, Emcore will be presenting our solutions for CATV systems featuring the Medallion 8000 and 6000 Series transmitters, plus its latest components for wireless and Distributed Antenna System (DAS) applications. Emcore will be meeting with customers, industry analysts and the media in its on-booth meeting rooms. www.emcore.com


EXFO EXFO recently launched the FTB-88100NGE, the industry’s smallest field-testing solution


supporting 10M-to-100G rates in a single module, and subsequently launched the first Pol-Mux OSNR option for coherent 40G/100G DWDM systems on the FTB-5240S-P module. At this year’s OFC, EXFO will be exhibiting a full commissioning, turn-up and troubleshooting solution for 100G deployment. When used in combination on
