Oclaro demos its tunable XFP transceivers at 36th ECOC Show

Oclaro has demonstarted its TL8800 full-band Tunable XFP transceiver at the 36th European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication (ECOC).

"Through Oclaro's InP (Indium Phosphide) Core Technology, we continue to define the highest levels of photonic integration into our tunable products," said Adam Price, Executive Vice President and Division Manager at Oclaro. "Tunable XFP is just the first step on our high density roadmap. Beyond scaling the Tunable XFP product to high volume manufacture with our proven world class operations organization, Oclaro is readying itself to be a market driver with next generation tunable products."

The TL8800 Tunable XFP adds on to Oclaro's range of tunable components and modules such as the TL5000 ITLA tunable source, TL7000 TTA transmitter, and the TL9000 TSFF 300pin Transponder. The new Tunable XFP product platform enables customers to consolidate their DWDM 10Gb/s optics onto one format, as opposed to having to split between 300pin and fixed wavelength XFP solutions depending on the performance required. Variants will cover a range of Tx chirp, Rx options, C and L band coverage and enhanced performance for challenging optical and environmental operation.
