Source: Infinera
Infinera has detailed coherent technology enhancements implemented using its latest-generation optical transmission technology. The system vendor is still to launch its newest photonic integrated circuit (PIC) and FlexCoherent DSP-ASIC but has detailed features the CMOS and indium phosphide ICs support.
The techniques highlight the increasing sophistication of coherent technology and an ever tighter coupling between electronics and photonics.
