the OIF, discuss the current status of CMIS(Common Management Interface Specification) within the OIF and highlight some of the new CMIS features that the OIF will be working on during the upcoming year, such as adding support for co-packaging/External Laser Small Form Factor Pluggable (ELSFP) projects and electrical link training. The Status of 1.6T Optics Arista: Andy Bechtelsheim, Chairman, Chief Development Officer and Co-Founder This talk will discuss the timeline for 1.6T Ethernet ports with 200G Serdes; 1.6T OSFP and 1.6T-OSFP-XD standard status; 200G Lambda standard status; 1.6T-ZR Standard status; and non-silicon Photonics Developments. New Optics for 5G and Beyond Source Photonics: Frank Chang, Chief Engineer and CTO This presentation will focus on latest advances in optical wireless deployment scenarios: 50G vs 100G Bidi for up to 40km; analogue CDR vs DSP approach for higher bandwidth and low latency; the choice of CWDM, LWDM and tuneable solutions; OTU rate support and protection features by leveraging 100G and 400G PAM4 based client optics. Chang will discuss the synergies and differences between today’s mobile transport and future optical 6G networks. Evolution of Optical Connectivity to 3.2T Marvell: Xi Wang, Vice President of Optical DSP Business Unit This presentation will discuss the underlying technologies needed to enable 1.6T and 3.2T, and how technological advancements in both electronics and optics will enable a higher level of integration that will have a lasting impact for future generations of optical connectivity. Next-Gen Converged Optical Access for PON, HFC, 5G and Business Services Cox Communications: Harj Ghuman, Principal Strategic Access Architect Currently one of the hottest topics in the Cable industry is 10Gigabit bandwidth and beyond, and the convergence of two primary topologies, HFC and PON, becomes highly desirable. For operators, the key technical innovations to reach this goal include Long-reach PON to centralise OLTs, Seamless scalability to coherent technology, Wide-band transmission window to augment the fibre utilisation. Such a converged optical access will not only reduce the cost, but also provide a scalable path to multi- wavelength PON as well as 100G-400G coherent PON.
blocks such as TROSA and DSP to solve technical and operational challenges in pushing coherent technology to the Edge. With the number of connected devices and bandwidth demand skyrocketing, service providers are faced with the challenges of coping with massive growth in bandwidth, reducing CapEx/OpEx, and simplifying the network. To do this, they need to extend coherent technology to the edge. Open Optical Networks: Reality and Ambition Juniper Networks / Telecom Infra Project: Gert Grammel, Chair of OOPT-PSE Working Group As the Internet is changing, open optical networks are emerging from tribal ancestry to a state of being actively deployed. Industry Groups filled the gap, left by standards development organisations in promoting interoperability and consistency of optical solutions. An astounding degree of openness has already been achieved, but much work is still ahead to unleash its true potential. One key driver of this evolution is the OOPT Project group of the Telecom Infra Project fostering interoperable blueprints for deployment across the industry. This presentation will touch on the state of the art, ambitious use cases and missing pieces will also be discussed. CPO and Why Coherent is Likely to Make it into Datacentres Sicoya: Sven Otte, Chief Executive whether Co-packaged Optics (CPO) is a paradigm shift from pluggable transceivers and inevitable for next generations of datacentres. While there is evidence that both small and large optics companies are currently working CPO type products, Sicoya believes that co-packaging is rather a technology trend which will gradually materialise and is not a radical replacement of transceivers for a new generation of SERDES speed in Datacentres (DC). This presentation we will briefly review the trends and provide examples where CPOs might be useful. Fibre Innovations for Scale and Sustainability Corning Incorporated: Roshene McCool, Senior Market & Technology Development Manager Network capacity is increasing at an unprecedented rate. Whilst capacity increases are placing pressure on the limits of optical transmission performance the industry looks to means of delivering multiple optical pathways using the passive medium of optical fibre. This talk will discuss how optical fibre and cable are evolving to deliver capacity with highly Officer and Co-Founder The presentation will question
The Fracturing of 400ZR: Opportunities for Coherent Pluggables Beyond DCI Cignal AI: Scott Wilkinson, Lead Analyst The 400ZR standard has been wildly successful, with over 50,000 pluggable coherent 400Gbps modules shipped in 2021. The number of modules shipped is forecast to triple in 2022 as production ramps to meet demand. Vendors are now innovating with new varieties offering higher power and advanced features to build new opportunities beyond DCI. In this presentation, Wilkinson will review the relative drivers and successes of different form factors (QSFP-DD/OSFP vs. CFPx), different features (ZR vs. ZR+ vs. 0dBm), and our forecast for the growth of each variety, especially as new 800Gbps pluggables emerge in 2023. High-Speed Testing for PICs VLC Photonics: Iñigo Artundo, CEO This presentation will review the current state-of-the art in opto-electronic probing, measurement instrumentation, and techniques for reliable and high- speed testing. The characterisation and testing of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) still presents one of the largest challenges for the industry, given the relatively low yields still found in photonic manufacturing and the large costs from packaging non-good dies. Data Centre Networks: Evolving to CPO or Advancing Pluggables? Omdia: Lisa Huff, Senior Principal Analyst, Optical Components Over the last year, there has been a plethora of activity by standardisation groups, network equipment manufacturers (NEMs), optical transceiver suppliers, switch silicon providers, and internet content providers (ICPs) themselves regarding CPO. Omdia has carried out extensive market research to determine how the CPO market is progressing and where the opportunities might be. The key drivers for CPO development continue to be the promise of lower power consumption, higher density, and lower cost per bit. However, there are still questions about CPO’s promise versus reality, along with the timeline for its overall development and actual need. This presentation will discuss these questions and possible answers. CMIS: Management Control of Optical Modules OIF: Gary Nicholl, Cisco, Board Member This talk will provide a high-level overview of CMIS, explain the reasons why the effort was transferred to
