INFINERA: FEATURED PRODUCT
Te GX Compact Modular Series, powered by Infinera’s ICE6 800G optical engine, offers superior optical performance and scalable connectivity in a compact, flexible package. Its modular sled-based architecture with integrated optical line system capabilities enables optimised support for numerous network applications. Te GX Series offers leading
programmability and performance, with support for up to 800G per wavelength along with feature-packed automation. It supports deployments over virtually any
optical line system and allows operators to save on CapEx and OpEx with industry-leading power consumption and a pay-as-you-grow modular design. ICE6 enables network operators to meet
the demands of rapid bandwidth growth by providing the greatest capacity at the greatest reach, resulting in a solution with the lowest cost and power per bit and the highest spectral efficiency possible. While 800G is its headline rate, ICE6 is also shatering optical transmission expectations for 600Gb/s and 400Gb/s per wavelength.
PSE-Vs (super-coherent) can run up to 90GBd, and employs the second generation of Nokia Bell Labs-pioneered probabilistic constellation shaping (PCS). It is capable of transporting up to 800G, while providing greater reach, lower power per bit, and greater spectral efficiency. Te PSE-Vc (compact) enables programmable capacity from 100 to 400G with metro to long- haul capability. NeoPhotonics also recently announced a
coherent modulator and receiver for enabling 800G and above-per-wavelength applications. Te Class 60 versions of its Coherent Driver- Modulator (CDM) and Intradyne Coherent Receiver (Micro-ICR) are designed to address the next generation of 100+ GBd systems to meet ongoing growth in demand for bandwidth, especially between cloud data centres. Te Class 60 suite allows increasing symbol rates from the 64+ to 100+ GBd. Tese components work together to enable customers to implement single wavelength data transmission near one Terabit per second over data centre interconnect (DCI) distances, as well as long-haul 400~500Gb/s transmission.

BRISTOL INSTRUMENTS: FEATURED PRODUCT
For the manufacturers of high-capacity optics and transceivers, the 338 Series Optical Wavelength Meter from Bristol Instruments combines speed, accuracy and affordability to address manufacturers’ most critical requirements. Te wavelength of CW and modulated
signals is measured to an accuracy as high as ±0.3 pm. A measurement rate of 25Hz results in
reduced test times to optimise manufacturing throughput. Tis instrument features a convenient touch-screen display to report data in a variety of formats and can interface via SCPI using USB, Ethernet or GPIB. Additionally, the rugged design of the
338, coupled with Bristol’s five-year warranty provides reliable operation and the lowest cost of ownership, when compared with similar systems.
