The key feature of this technology is enabled by CoreOptics' proprietary digital signal processing innovations.
This technology enables extraction and translation of additional properties of the optical signal into electrical domain, enabling more robust transmission, over longer distances and achieving higher signal quality.
"We are very pleased to have demonstrated in partnership with Siemens and with excellent support from Eindhoven University of Technology, this truly disruptive 100G transmitter and receiver architecture that we believe is the technically and commercially most attractive answer for carriers' needs to transport emerging next generation 100GbE clients", said Dr Christoph Schulien, CoreOptics cofounder and Lead System Architect for next generation 40G/100G products.
"Our company has established market leadership in highly advanced equalisation solutions based on electronic signal processing at 10G and we believe our coherent detection and digital signal processing technology is the best answer for carriers' demands for high performance and low cost next generation 40G and 100G networks".
The reported trial has been partly supported within the project Eibone (Efficient Integrated Backbone) from the German Government BMBF (Bundesministerium fur Forschung und Bildung).
CoreOptics currently offers a complete set of 10Gbit/s DWDM, 40Gbit/s single channel short reach and 40/43G DWDM transponder modules.
The company's product portfolio also includes 43Gbit/s Ultra-FEC, 40G Mux/DeMux for 4x10G client signals and interface convertor supporting SFI-5s, SFI-4, XFI to enable building of next generation open tolerant networks.
