AOI publish data center with 100G optical engine

Analog and digital optical components supplier AOI (Applied Optoelectronics) has introduced 100Gbps optical engine for data center use. The product is built four laser, detector arrays, optical arrays and associated drive electronics for parallel 100Gbps optical modules and other design PSM4 QSFP28.

The main features of the product include:

• AOI Texas MBE Fab homemade laser chip

• Highly reliable non-seal design to improve the cost-effective

• Built-in laser driver and TIA chip simplifies design

• Patented thermal design

• Provide MSA compatible and pigtail packages

AOI indicates that the product has begun to provide samples, the amount of the year is expected to produce. According Lightcounting forecasts, bulk sales 100G QSFP28 module will appear in the second half of next year.

Gigalight launched the second-generation multi-mode parallel optical engine

Recently, Gigalight successfully completed real-time monitoring 4-12 road Tx optical power of the second-generation multi-mode parallel optical engine, and equipped with the newly developed Gigalight successful 40G QSFP+ SR4 GEN2 optical transceiver module. The second generation optical engine core objective research is to develop a micro-optical structure LENS, multi-channel parallel VCSEL optical power monitoring, and easy to bind at high speed module circuit board.

Gigalight generation 40G QSFP+ SR4 GEN2 optical modules with integrated optical devices coupled with a unique lens to achieve real-time monitoring of optical power TX transmit function that transmit TX optical power of effective monitoring, play a stabilizing role emitted optical power. Common market QSFP+ SR4 TX optical modules actually do not have real-time monitoring of the emitted light power, not only by the laser array chip VCSEL ARRAY vertical cavity surface emitting limiting characteristic, add the feedback optical device under existing QSFP+ package is also very difficult. Gigalight 40G QSFP+ SR4 GEN2 success of research and development, more stable the Gigalight leadership in optical engine technology.
