DESCRIPTION
The PM100 modulator supports the generally accepted Dual Polarization-QPSK modulation scheme; each of four parallel MZI’s running at speeds of up to 32Gbaud. The very advanced, spectrally highly efficient QPSK modulation format, combined with the polarization multiplexing scheme, guarantees compatibility with 50GHz optical channel spacing and more than doubles the capacities of conventional 40G transmission. This product uses very advanced chip and packaging technologies that have evolved from Oclaro’s extremely reliable and high-performing standard MZI modulators. A meticulous chip design features low insertion loss (with very small polarization depend loss) as well as a high bandwidth and a quasi-linear electro-optic roll-off. In addition, the PM100 form factor is designed according to the widely accepted OIF 100G TX Implementation Agreement.
