Luxpert Technologies announces XFP, 80-km SFP+, single channel EDFA/OE Solutions showcases 10Gb/s single-fiber, bi-directional SFP+ transceiver at OFC 2010

MARCH 19, 2010 — LuXpert Technologies of Korea has announced three new products ahead of OFC/NFOEC. They include a 10-km XFP optical transceiver, an 80-km SFP+ optical transceiver, and a single channel miniature EDFA.

The DLXP-x31xx7-3G 10-km XFP is the first of a family of transceivers to be offered by Luxpert Technologies. The multi-rate module operates from 9.95 to 11.3 Gbps and supports SONET/SDH, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Fibre Channel standards. It offers a power consumption of less than 1.6 W.

Samples will be available in July 2010, with production beginning at the end of 2010.

The DLXP-x55xxD-3G 80-km SFP+ features an optical link budget of 24 dB and a typical power consumption of 2.5 W. The DLXP-x55xxD-3G module complies with ITU-T G.959.1 P1L1-2D2 optical standards. Samples will be available in July 2010 with production beginning at the end of 2010.

The LXM-AMPY Miniature EDFA features a 65x4x10-mm footprint, less than 1.5-W power consumption, and an intelligent command interface accessible via RS-232 or I2C for control and monitoring. The LXM-AMPY can be used in a booster, line, or pre-amplifier configuration.

“The Miniature Low-Cost Single Channel EDFA can be a key building block in system and subsystem applications where a compact low-power footprint is required, such as ROADMs and 40G transmitters and receivers,” said Leo Byun, CEO of Luxpert Technologies. “Our history of designing optical subsystems has allowed us to shrink the size and power while not compromising quality or performance.”

Samples of the miniature EDFA will be available in April 2010 with production beginning in June 2010.

MARCH 18, 2010 — OE Solutions Co. Ltd., a supplier of high-performance optoelectronic transceiver solutions for wireless and wireline optical communications, will be demonstrating 10Gb/s single-fiber, bi-directional (BIDI) SFP+ transceivers during OFC 2010 in San Diego, Calif.

The transceivers on exhibit exemplify OE Solutions’ core competency in integrating Bi-Directional optical sub-assembly (BOSA) into MSA-compliant SFP+ packaging. The specification will conform to the 10km 10GBASE-LR interface, but will employ 1270nm and 1330nm wavelengths. OE Solutions will further extend the reach to 40km by using cooled BOSA technology developed in-house.

“Our customer base relies on OE Solutions to continue to push the envelope for single-fiber, Bi-Directional transceivers, enabling a simple upgrade that offers an attractive cost savings and ease of fiber management compared to installing more fiber. OE Solutions is answering customers’ call by first releasing the 10Gb/s single-fiber, BIDI using uncooled BOSA technology that will enable up to a 10km reach. Furthermore, we are already looking ahead and will be offering up to 40km reach shortly using cooled BOSA technology,” says Richard Burroughs, director of sales at OE Solutions.

OE Solutions will exhibit in booth #2631 at the OFC 2010, March 23-25, 2010, at the San Diego Convention Center.
