Emcore to exhibit and present talk on linear fiber optics in HFC networks at ANGACOM

Emcore Corp of Alhambra, CA, USA – which provides indium phosphide (InP)-based optical chips, components, subsystems and systems for the broadband and specialty fiber-optics markets – is exhibiting at the ANGACOM Exhibition & Congress for Broadband, Cable and Satellite for the 10th consecutive year. In addition, senior product line director Grant Olecko will present a talk ‘Seeing the True Benefits of Linear Fiber Optics in HFC’ on 31 May (4:30pm) at the ANGACOM Speakers Corner.

Together with its partner EQ Photonics GmbH in booth #Q60 (hall 8) at the Cologne Congress Center, Germany (30 May - 1 June), Emcore will showcase its latest advances in DOCSIS 3.1, 1550nm CATV transmitters utilizing linear externally modulated laser (L-EML) technology.

Introduced at ANGACOM 2016, L-EML-based transmitters have achieved qualification with major cable multi-service operators (MSOs) and are in volume production to meet rapidly growing demand. The new Medallion 8100 DOCSIS 3.1 L-EML 1550nm CATV transmitter will be on display along with Emcore’s full system-level portfolio for CATV broadband transmission including the Medallion 6100 DOCSIS 3.1 1550nm CATV transmitter, Medallion 7200 high-power CATV fiber amplifier and Medallion 2100 optical A/B switch.

In addition, Emcore is introducing a compact 1.2GHz, 1550nm L-EML -based mini-transmitter card subassembly designed for CATV applications. The new ‘mini-Tx’ subassembly will support links of 0-100km and provides all the core elements required for designers to quickly integrate the L-EML device technology into a variety of CATV transmitter platforms.

“The acceptance of our L-EML-based CATV transmitters has been tremendous since we introduced the series last year at ANGACOM and customers have asked us to expand on the form-factor options to allow them greater flexibility on how they integrate the technology into their platforms,” says senior product line director Grant Olecko. “In my presentation ‘Seeing the True Benefits of Linear Fiber Optics in HFC', I’ll discuss some of the giant strides Emcore has made to remove arguments of advantages of baseband digital links being evangelized by some in the industry, compared with linear fiber optics to the node,” he adds.

At ANGACOM, Emcore will also preview the latest in high-density laser package technology with the forthcoming Emcore XMD, which incorporates the firm’s proven 1550nm QAM laser technology into the ultra-compact XMD form-factor, which is about a third the size of Emcore’s classic 14-pin butterfly laser modules.
