Oclaro announced sampling 1310nm photonic integrated circuits (PICs) that integrate a DFB laser with a Mach Zehnder modulator for intra-data center applications using CWDM wavelengths.
“The need for ever-increasing capacity within the data center is making it critical to develop higher-speed and more integrated component technology,” said Beck Mason, President of Oclaro’s Integrated Photonic Business. “Oclaro has a long history of delivering proven direct detect and coherent technology and we are pleased to be the first supplier to now offer a 1310nm DFB-MZ PIC capable of supporting the demanding 100 Gbps per wavelength PAM4 applications.”
