OIF starts work on a terabit-plus CFP8-ACO module
Roy Rubenstein, Gazettabyte July 26, 2016 The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) has started a new analogue coherent optics (ACO) specification based on the CFP8 pluggable module. The CFP8 is the latest is a series of optical modules specified by the CFP Multi-Source Agreement and will support the emerging 400 Gigabit Ethernet standard. An ACO module used for […]
OIF moves to raise coherent transmission baud rate
Gazettabyte – Roy Rubenstein May 21, 2015 The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) has started modulator and receiver specification work to enhance coherent optical transmission performance. The OIF initiative aims to optimise modulator and receiver photonics operating at a higher baud rate than the current 32 Gigabaud (Gbaud).”We want the two projects to look at those […]
OIF demonstrates 50 Gbps signals using two modulations
Martin Rowe -March 30, 2015 Last week at OFC 2015, the OIF (Optical Internetworking Forum) demonstrated two 50 Gbps transmissions using both PAM4 and NRZ formats. Over the past year, PAM4 has emerged as what appears to be the modulation format of choice for many systems, although NRZ will still have its place. PAM4, the […]
