Finisar Demonstrates 40G CFP Optical Transceiver at ECOC in Vienna

In Vienna this week? Then come and see us at this year’s ECOC exhibition and conference. We’ll be showcasing our latest technologies – including our 40G LR4 CFP module new EWP 1×2 WSS module for edge applications, and the advanced WaveShaper S-Series, a reduced form factor version of the existing WaveShaper product to afford more space within test systems. If you’d like to hear more about this and our other product lines, or chat about what’s next for the optical communications industry, stop by and visit the Finisar team at booth #640. You can also follow us on twitter for live updates at the #ECOC event this week.

ECOC 2009 ends September 23; don’t miss your chance to catch us while we’re in town. And if you have some time on Sunday, it’s worth a visit to hear what Finisar’s Engineering Director, Chris Cole has to say about 100G client interface applications.

We have just celebrated our one year anniversary of the exciting merger between Optium and Finisar. This combination united two great leaders in optics technology forging new market opportunities and creating the industry’s broadest product portfolio.

Behind the scenes, our technical staff continue to work across the globe to collaborate across product lines and function areas.

For example, our Finisar 40G transponder team in Israel recently teamed up with our Finisar WSS ROADM team in Australia to implement a multi-wavelength recirculating optical loop operating at 40 Gb/s. The test bed is used for evaluating and demonstrating product performance in a range of real-world optical networking applications.

We have created a video to visually explain our test bed and some of the results that we have seen. In particular, we demonstrated the operation of Finisar’s 40G DPSK modules in a recirculating loop spanning 1600 km through 40 cascaded Finisar WSS modules.
