OpNext Demonstrates Fully Functional 40 Gbit/s Transmitter and Receiver At ECOC

Source: OpNext, Inc.

Amsterdam, Netherlands. OpNext, Inc. a global leader in high-performance optical networking components, today unveiled its state-of-the-art technology and a market-leading multiple source agreement (MSA) for next-generation network systems, utilizing 40 Gbit/s components. 40 Gbit/s optical transmission is the next milestone in optical networking and will lead to cost savings, higher capacity and greater network flexibility. OpNext is a leading 10 Gbit/s solution provider and is focused on developing 40Gbit/s solutions.

Our customers want our 40 Gbit/s products as soon as possible, said OpNext president and CEO, Harry L. Bosco. The live demonstration showcases our technological achievements for 40 Gbit/s and demonstrates an integrated optical transponder module. We are planning to deliver fully integrated samples by Q4 2002.

OpNext demonstrated a live 2-km transmission experiment using fully functional 40 Gbit/s transmitter and receiver modules at the European Conference of Optical Communication (ECOC). The modules included a 40 Gbit/s semiconductor modulator driven by an InP-HBT driver IC, a photodiode and amplifiers, a 40 GHz clock recovery circuit using filter, and 4 to1 multiplexer and 1 to 4 demultiplexer SiGe IC s that achieve an interface of 4 channels at 10 Gbit/s. OpNext has demonstrated 40 Gbit/s for both electrical and optical forms, with stable, error-free data transmission.

OpNext, Inc. ( www.opnext.com ), is a global supplier of optical components and modules for the data and telecommunications industries. Formed from Hitachi s Ltd s fiber optic components business unit, OpNext brings over 30 years experience to the design, development and manufacture of high-performance components that drive today s high-capacity optical networks.
