QUEBEC CITY,
March 18, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - EXFO
Inc. (NASDAQ: EXFO) (TSX: EXF) announced today the introduction of
the IQS-2800 ITLA Tunable Laser Source, jointly developed with
Coherent Solutions and exclusively available from EXFO.
The recent bandwidth explosion is pushing
next-generation transmission systems to new capacity limits
requiring the use of complex high-order modulation formats like
dual-polarization quadrature phase-shift keying (DPQPSK). Housed in
the IQS-636 platform, the IQS-2800 is a modular test solution that
provides researchers and engineers with a comprehensive way to
design and test future ultra-high-capacity network architectures.
The lasers are tunable over the C and L bands with a 10-pm
resolution.
EXFO's IQS-2800 ITLA Tunable Laser Source is a
cost-effective and versatile solution for various applications,
such as coherent/OFDM transmission and WDM network emulation. The
IQS-2800 delivers the high power output, 100-kHz narrow linewidth
and high resolution tunability required by today's demanding
applications, including 100G and 400G coherent transmission. The
IQS-2800 is available now.
Please visit EXFO at OFC/NFOEC (March 19-21, 2013, Anaheim Convention Center,
Booth 2212) for a demo of the new IQS-2800 ITLA Tunable Laser
Source.
