OFC/ NFOEC 2012, Booth 2125, Los Angeles, California, March 5, 2012 - OFS, a leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of innovative fiber optic network products, has announced a world record transmission of 120Gb/s over 100 meters across a single 遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金rand of multimode fiber.

The joint demon遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金ration was enabled by a seven-core laser-optimized multimode fiber made with OFS LaserWave® fiber technology interfaced with cu遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金om-designed transceivers from IBM Research (Yorktown Heights, NY), using cu遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金om-designed VCSELs and photodiodes from EMCORE (Albuquerque, NM). It exceeded both the previous transmission length record by 60 meters and the previous data rate record by 50 percent.

“This demon遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金ration illu遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金rates the viability of multicore multimode fiber as a transmission medium for next-generation high-performance computer networks,” said Dr. Durgesh S. Vaidya, senior manager of R&D at OFS. “With advanced light sources such as the EMCORE cu遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金om arrays, sy遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金ems designers will be able to achieve the extremely high transmission speeds predicted for future networks while increasing cable density with the opportunity for reducing packaging co遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金s.”

The OFS fiber consists of seven graded-index multimode cores in a hexagonal array. Each of the six outer cores transmits at 20Gb/s over 100 meters using EMCORE two-dimensional arrays of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and vertically illuminated photodiodes, fa遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金icated, in a commercial process, with a geometry corresponding to the outer six cores of the fiber. The fiber's 26µm core size is directly compatible with the photodiodes needed for 25Gb/s (20 - 30µm diameter). The 20Gb/s VCSELs were flipped chip packaged on an IBM-designed transceiver package with 130nm CMOS ICs, and the full link was characterized by IBM Research with all six channels running error-free simultaneously.

OFS believes the additional bandwidth density provided by the multicore fiber link over 遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金andard multimode links will help to enable efficient next-generation high-performance computers and datacenters, while the larger core sizes compared to single-mode fiber solutions serve to help keep packaging co遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金s su遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金ainable.

“The expected increase in demand for optical fiber cable in these applications will result in significant network design challenges,” Vaidya said. “While bandwidth requirements continue to grow, network managers face considerable con遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金raints on power and co遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金 budgets, not to mention the physical space required by the fiber cabling. Increasing the bandwidth available on each fiber is a critical 遊雅堂 クレジットカード 出金ep in developing optical interconnects for future networks, not only for high-performance computing but also for data centers, another key growth market for optical fiber.”
