Oclaro PM100 Modulator 100G PM-QPSK DWDM DP-QPSK Single Ended OIF 792000923

DESCRIPTION

The PM100 modulator supports the generally accepted Dual Polarization-QPSK

modulation scheme; each of four parallel MZI’s running at speeds of up to 32 Gbaud.

The very advanced, spectrally highly efficient QPSK modulation format, combined with

the polarization multiplexing scheme, guarantees compatibility with 50GHz optical

channel spacing and more than doubles the capacities of conventional 40G transmission.

This product uses very advanced chip and packaging technologies that have evolved from

Oclaro’s extremely reliable and high-performing standard MZI modulators. A meticulous

chip design features low insertion loss (with very small polarization depend loss) as well as

a high bandwidth and a quasi-linear electro-optic roll-off. In addition, the PM100 form factor

is designed according to the widely accepted OIF 100G Tx Implementation Agreement.

APPLICATIONS
