Domestically Designed Integrated Silicon-Based Module for Coherent Optical Transmission Network

A line card with low power silicon-based module is demoed on current commercial network by Shanghai Telcom. This is China's first domestically designed silicon-based module in coherent transmission systems. This module has an excellent performance. All key parameters passed the test requirements of N×100Gbit/s optical wavelength division multiplexing systems and shows a more than 6-watt power consumption reduction.
