Luxtera Demonstrates Silicon Photonics Innovations at OFC 2018

SAN DIEGO, March 12, 2018 -- OFC 2018 – Luxtera, the global leader in silicon photonics, today announced multiple optics product and technology demonstrations to be shown this week at the 2018 Optical Networking and Communication Conference & Exhibition (OFC). The company will feature its latest advancements in 100G/λ technology, PAM4 signaling, extended reach, increased operating temperature range, liquid immersion cooling, increased density and photonic integration. 

Customers can see these demonstrations in booth #2701 and Corporate Village Room #6609, located in the San Diego Convention Center, March 13-15, 2018. Demonstrations will include:

• IEEE802.3bs compliant 400G-DR4 technology platform demonstrating increased throughput and performance in Luxtera’s next generation products
   
• 30km, 50G-PAM4 single-lambda QSFP link demonstrating Luxtera’s extended reach capabilities with PAM4 signaling over duplex fiber
   
• 4x25G-LR QSFP28 modules running error-free at industrial temperature extremes (-40C and +85C) over 10km of SMF demonstrating increased operating temperature range and extended reach
   
• 100G-PSM4 QSFP28 module running error-free while fully immersed in liquid immersion coolant demonstrating why Luxtera silicon photonics transceivers are ideally suited for liquid immersion applications
   
• Production 3.2Tb 0.5RU switch with 32 x 100G-PSM4 ports using Luxtera’s 2x100G-PSM4 embedded optical module demonstrating Luxtera’s higher density products
   
• The evolution of optics: An example high-density integrated photonics+ASIC switch demonstration
   
• Advanced photonics wafers from the latest TSMC 300mm CMOS wafer foundry process demonstrating Luxtera’s new technology platform
