Emcore’s tunable XFP transceiver Telcordia qualified
The TXFP incorporates Emcore’s "ClearLight" External Cavity Laser (ECL) technology, which has been deployed in worldwide fibre networks by multiple carriers since 2004.
Provider of compound semiconductor-based components, subsystems and systems for the fibre optics and solar power markets, Emcore Corporation, has announced the successful Telcordia qualification and production release of its Tunable XFP (TXFP) transceiver.
"Our successful Telcordia GR-468 qualification and production release of the TXFP represents a major milestone for Emcore. We have demonstrated that our technology exceeds the mandated industry robustness and reliability standards," stated Rob Stone, Director of Emcore's Telecom Business Unit.
"We have been successful in our goal of enabling customers to replace their legacy 10Gb/s long-haul tunable interfaces with a more power and size efficient module, which improves both their operational and capital expenses."
The Tunable XFP incorporates the latest "ClearLight" generation of the Emcore patented ECL technology, which has been deployed in worldwide fibre networks by multiple carriers since 2004. All active optical subcomponents are manufactured in-house, leveraging Emcore’s capability in wafer growth and fabrication. In addition to its current volume manufacturing location, Emcore will be adding additional capacity at its contract manufacturer over the second half of 2011.
