II‐VI Incorporated announce ultra-compact optical components and amplification solutions for CFP2- ACO transceivers Next generation solutions provider, II‐VI Incorporated, have announced a portfolio of ultra-compact optical components that enable the emerging CFP2-ACO (Analog Coherent Optics) pluggable transceiver form-factor. The CFP2-ACO transceiver provides a cost-effective

KOC to showcase new EASYCONN field installation connector First time OFC exhibitors, KOC will be showcasing their new field installable fibre connector (FIC). The EASYCONN FIC comes with exquisite volume and excellent optical and mechanical performance developed by Dimension Technology and is an extremely reliable and an easy-to-install product.

solution for bandwidth upgrades of data centre interconnects and metro/ regional networks. This transceiver’s small form factor also increases system interconnect density.

II-VI now offers a portfolio of small, hybrid and tunable optical components as well as optical amplification solutions that are designed to meet the compact physical requirements of CFP2- ACO and other high density transceivers. These components boost optical signal strength, equalise the optical spectrum, maintain optical polarisation states, filter out optical noise and prevent undesired optical reflections. While already a market leader in standalone amplification for high bit rate transmission, II-VI now expands into integrated amplification for the rapidly-growing CFP2-ACO market. We believe that we have the smallest EDFA designs with the lowest power consumption in the industry today” said Dr. Sanjai Parthasarathi, Vice President, Product Marketing and Strategy, Optical Communications Group. The portfolio of ultra-compact components for CFP2-ACO applications are Telcordia qualified and commercially available. Stand 3809 Kaiam’s 100G QSFP28 shipping in volume to datacentres Kaiam Corporation, a leader in 40G transceivers, announces that it is now shipping 100G QSFP28 CWDM4 transceivers in volume to cloud datacentres. “We are proud to have been chosen by multiple top datacentre customers for both 40G and 100G,” said CEO Bardia Pezeshki, “but we aren’t resting on our laurels. We are committed to supporting the market as its needs continue to accelerate.”

Unlike other similar connectors, EASYCONN FIC has definitely succeeded as a one-of-kind product due to its unique alignment, matching liquid structure and high quality characteristics, like low insertion and return loss, high operating temperature range and stable reassembly performance. The patent is designed for high reliability and can be used for both FTTH drop cable and round cable. As for the structure, EASYCONN FIC can lock fibre and cable simultaneously, without the need for assembly tools and no prior training is needed. Suitable for SC/APC & SC/UPC, FTTX , temporary or permanent Ethernet backbone connection, temporary outdoor optical fibre connection and military optical fibre network connection. Stand 1762 Laser Components introduce new measurement system UK based components manufacturer and distributor,

Laser Components, has introduced a new measurement system

developed and produced at AFL Noyes, which combines aeRos™ cloud-based software with a new ROGUE™ basic measurement platform. A mobile Android or iOS device, with WiFi or Bluetooth,

handles the data transmission between Cloud and measurement device, but the ROGUE™ can also be used as a standalone device and a robust design means that the base unit can handle in-field measurements. The lightweight device can be carried and mounted in a variety of ways, offering flexible handling and an interface on the base allows connection to video microscopes for connector inspection. The company announced that modules for all relevant measurements will be introduced step by step, from emitters to OTDRs. Stand 3634

Kaiam’s roadmap includes innovations for 100G and beyond. At OFC 2016, the company will be showing a live demonstration of a second generation 100G module based on Silicon Photonics. Stand 1222
