With the rapid development of the Internet and cloud computing industry, the
demand for 100G long distance products in the Data Center Interconnection (DCI)
and the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) has also increased. According to the
third party forecast, the demand for 100G 40km optical modules will increase at
30% rate per year in the next five years.
For the 100G 40km optical interconnect applications, Gigalight can provide two
products to meet different needs.
One is the 100G CFP2 ER4 optical module applied to the Optical Transport
Network (OTN). It supports the OTU4 data rate and 40km transmission without
Forward Error Correction (FEC). It can simplify the MAN transmission network
with less relay equipment to reduce the system delay and operation maintenance
cost.
Another one is the 100G QSFP28 4WDM-40 optical module applied to the DCI
network. It is a convenient choice for long-distance interconnection applications
between 100G ports in the data centers.
Now, lets introduce the features of these two products.
Compared with the first-generation CFP optical module, the Gigalight 100G CFP2
ER4 has a smaller size reduced by 50% and lower power consumption reduced by
40%, which has improved the number of ports of the core devices and the
capability of data exchange. The 100G CFP2 ER4 optical module adopts the EML
laser (TOSA), PIN photodetector (ROSA), and Semiconductor Optical Amplifier
(SOA). Through the optimized control of these three core components, the
advantages of low power consumption are achieved. The typical power
consumption is only 8watt. At the same time, the Application-Specific Integrated
Circuit (ASIC) is used to implement the Management Data Input/Output (MDIO)
interface, which has strong compatibility.
The Gigalight 100G CFP2 ER4 optical module uses two advanced and efficient
algorithms developed by Gigalight-self.
The first one is the SOA gain control algorithm. In the case of receiving optical
power changing, the closed-loop adaptive algorithm can quickly lock the working
current and adjust the amplification performance of SOA, which can ensure the
normal operation of the receiver. Even if the system end does not open the FEC
function, the 100G CFP2 ER4 can support 40km transmission, which fully meets
the IEEE () 802.3ba 100GBASE-ER4 standardand the strict ITU-T G.959.1
OTU4 (4L1-9C1F) standard.
The second one is the high-precision RX Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM)
algorithm. The working current value of SOA and the voltage value detected by
the receiver (ROSA) have jointly constructed the RX DDM calculation model,
which realizes the high-precision monitoring of the receiver optical power. The
monitoring precision of RX DDM is controlled within 1dB, so that the monitoring
precision of the product is higher than the protocol requirement.
The Gigalight 100G QSFP28 4WDM 40 adopts the QSFP28 package, which has
the advantages of smaller size and lower power consumption, and meets the
100GE 4WDM-40 MSA specification. It uses a DML laser with dual-rate support
at the transmitter (TOSA), and compared with the 100G QSFP28 ER lite optical
module with EML laser, the DML version has the advantage of ultra-low power
consumption less than 3.8W(读 watt) at the full temperature range of 0 to 70
degrees, which meets the requirements of data center green energy saving. Its
receiver (ROSA) adopts a high-sensitive APD photodetector with a sensitivity of
less than -16.5dBm. It can support 40km transmission when the systems FEC
function is turned on, and can also support 30km zero error transmission when
the system disables the FEC function. The 100G QSFP28 4WDM-40optical
module provides an affordable solution for the optical interconnection between
distributed data centers.
