Single-fibre transceiver beats SONET and
SDH specs
Bookham Technology's new single-fibre transceiver range offers transmitter output power and receiver sensitivity performance exceeding specifications for SONET and SDH bidirectional operation.
Bookham Technology has introduced a new single-fibre transceiver range, offering transmitter output power and receiver sensitivity performance exceeding specifications for SONET and SDH bidirectional operation The new products will enable optical communication OEMs designing systems in the Pacific Rim, to sell solutions that exceed recognised performance requirements domestically and on the international market

The multimode laser diode allows service providers to extend triple-play service delivery to fibre customers located further away from the central office or the cable head-end.
Modulator tunes lasers up to 40Gbit/s
Reduced size InP MZ platform will allow Bookham to offer 40Gbit/s products in smaller footprints compared with existing 40Gbit/s offerings employing larger optics.
Products in the range include a single-fibre transceiver and a 1x9 transceiver module.
Both have been designed for 155Mbit/s operation in SONET intermediate-reach OC-3, IR-1 and IR-2 and SDH short-haul S-1.1 and S-1.2 applications.
Single-fibre bidirectional implementation brings significant cost reductions to the network operator and user.
In a service area where the number of available fibres is running low, upgrading to bidirectional operation adds immediate bandwidth and cost savings.
By using these products, the basic specifications for output power and sensitivity will not need to be renegotiated with the network operator.
When additional equipment is demanded for back-up connections, these products allow a second line to be installed using just one fibre.
This is important to users where leased line costs are critical.
The products join a well-established range of transceivers manufactured using ASOC technology, which uses high-volume production methods to build reliable integrated optical components in silicon.
Sample quantities are available now, with volume production expected in the fourth quarter 2001.
The transceiver is already fully qualified, with the module currently undergoing final qualification.
