| Fujikura has developed a DWDM compatible optical transceiver which is an XFP—the MSA (Multi-Source Agreements) for the most compact size 10Gbit/s transceivers. This optical transceiver features compactness, low power consumption, and long-distance transmission, and is compatible with 100GHz-DWDM. The transmitter side (Tx) uses an external modulator and has high dispersion tolerance, and the receiver side (Rx) achieves high-sensitivity by using an avalanche photodiode (APD). Alone, the product can handle transmission up to 80 km. It can also be used for yet longer-distance transmission by combining with DCF (Dispersion Compensating Fiber) and optical amplifiers. It is also able to equip with a function for suppressing the occurrence of non-linear effects in optic fiber (SBS) by option, and this makes it easier to combine with optical amplifiers. |
