Technologies for 100 Gigabit were prominent at this year's OFC conference and exhibition held in San Francisco earlier this month.
Thursday, March 13, 2014 at 7:38AM The growing sophistication of high-speed optical transmission based on 100 Gigabit-plus lightpaths and advanced ROADMs is rekindling interest in amplifier design.
Raman is a signature of the spread of 100 Gig but also the desire of being upgradable to higher bit rates

For the last decade, amplifier designers have been tasked with reducing the cost of Erbium-doped fibre amplifiers (EDFAs). "Now there is a need for new solutions that are more expensive," says Daryl Inniss, vice president and practice leader, components at market research firm, Ovum. "It is no longer just cost-cutting."
