OneChip announces availability of Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC)-based 40GBASE-LR4 and 100GBASE-LR4 receiver chips

摘要

OneChip Photonics announced that it will make available, in the second half of this year, engineering samples of its Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC)-based 40GBASE-LR4 and 100GBASE-LR4 receiver chips for partner testing. These PIC-based receiver chips-which monolithically integrate, on a single Indium Phosphide (InP)-based chip, all of the active and passive optical components required to receive 40GBASE-LR4 or 100GBASE-LR4 signals - will enable transceiver manufacturers to address wide reach range (up to 10km), long-wavelength (around 1300 nm) data communications applications, including high-density interfaces for next-generation data center interconnects (NG DCI), more cost-effectively and efficiently than ever before.
