Anritsu are once again focusing on ECOC as the major European Optics Exhibition, and honoured to continuously be one of the sponsors of the show. In 2013 we continue to see technology convergence of the Telecomms Industry and the Computing Industry, with common push to innovation. Message from the Sponsor
building roadmaps to a future of lower power consumption, increased integration allowing more transmission ports in less space, and reduced costs. In the Test and Measurement arena, this evolution requires new intelligent test solutions to support research, development, production and deployment operations. Anritsu recently renewed and improved its most representative and leading R&D test platform, the MP1800 Signal Quality Analyser, adding new intelligent features, such as Automatic Emphasis configuration, Jitter Analysiswith J2/ J9, Pulse Amplitude Modulations, High Speed Multichannel Synchronous Transmission for testing complex modulations, thus supporting advanced research for high transmission speeds, at and beyond 400Gbps. Many key customers, working with Silicon Photonics, very high speed signals, and in theDataCenters andStorage world, have adopted MP1800 as their reference test solution. In the 100Gbps market segment,
Network links deployment has now started, and Anritsu’s MD1260A 40/100GE Analyzer provides a market unique Synchronous Multi- Unit testing solution which allows easy and exhaustive network load simulation and testing, including support for MPLS-TP, IPv4 and IPv6, Sweep Ping, ARP/GARP and FEC/ GMP Analysis While looking forward to the next generation of higher speed equipment, Operators, Carriers and ISPs are all investing in bringing fibers and high speed access to the end users. Finally, large investment plans are being established or already in place for more optical fibers deployments. Same as in R&D and Manufacturing, in the area of Optical Fibre Networks, PONs and FTTx services, Test and Measurement companies are required to bring not only technical improvements but also intelligence in each test solution, to ease the job for engineers in field. For this purpose, Anritsu is glad to show a range of new test solutions:
Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity, • and Automatic Macrobend Test Function, on the “micro-OTDR” series, with exclusive PON Selective Power Meter, as part of the revolutionary Network Master platform The “just released - first time • on show” new Automated Connector Graphical Analysis Function, based on IEC 61300- 3-35 standard The “just released - first time on • show” new Fiber Visualizer Tool on the Access Master OTDR The “just released - first time on • show” new 1490nm wavelength testing in Triple and Quad wavelengths modules for the Access Master OTDR All these solutions have been developed to help and support Operators and Installers who are concernedaboutROI,andtoreduce installation and maintenance costs
By Alessandro Messina W hile investigating new solutions to move beyond the 100Gbps transmission rate, all of the Industry big players and Standardization Committees, and also the technology evolution, are now focusing not only on speed increasebut also, andwith apparent higher priority, on reduced power consumption, size and cost, for any next to come networking solution. Three technologies are involved and directly influencing the chances for the Information and Telecommunication Industry to be able to move forward with a greener, more efficient, and higher speed networking system: Silicon Photonics, Integrated Optics and Modulation Techniques. Most of the big players in network equipment, and new players from the Silicon Industry, are now investing in researching these areas, and
of optical fibre networks. Alessandro Messina EMEA Wireline Marketing & Business Development Director, Anritsu
INDUSTRY NEWS Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute and ID Photonics enhance modular multi-terabit solution
FraunhoferHeinrichHertzInstitute’s and ID Photonics’ Multi-Terabit test solution for multi-format, flexi-grid and flexi-rate optical transport systems now provides a sampling speed of up to 70 GSa/s enabling data rates beyond 320 Gbit/s per carrier. The modular test solution provides researchers and engineers a comprehensive way to design and test future ultra-high capacity network architectures with more than 64 Tbit/s for the coherent transmission era using various modulation formats and channel configurations with unsurpassed ease of operation. The multi-Terabit solution consists of intuitively
programmable 34 GSa/s and/ or 70 GSa/s arbitrary waveform generators and an optical multi- format transmitter that enables a flexible generation of optical data signals with various modulation formats (PSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, etc.) for more than 320 Gbit/s per carrier when using 16-QAM. The multi-format transmitter includes electrical driver amplifiers and a high-bandwidth dual polarization IQ-modulator as well as a pre- distortion to compensate for impairments caused by the high- speed electrical-to-optical signal conversion. Its unique capability to synchronizemultipleAWGchannels
and a waveform memory of 16 Mbit allows generating realistic transmission scenarios required for future network designs. ID Photonics versatile carrier comb generator provides up to 200 DWDM channels and consists of narrow line-width tunable lasers optimized for coherent transmission. On that basis, the platform allows for generation of multi-Terabit/s test signals (more than 64 Tbit/s when fully equipped) using different modulation formats, carrier spacings and wavelength bands in a very flexible way by just a few mouse clicks. The modular design of pluggable tunable laser
units with an industry- leading portfolio of chassis variants adapts to customer’s needs and easily allows extension of existing installations. We cordially invite you to find out more about our latest developments at the ECOC 2013. Meet us at our booths 205-321 in London, September 22 – 26 this year to discuss your testing needs and requirements with our experts. For more information, please see www.hhi.fraunhofer.de/pn The Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute also presents the latest PolyBoard tool box at ECOC 2013.
