摘要:
Integrated performance monitoring (PM); optical layer operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM & P); alarming; amplification, and the like is described in optical transceivers, such as multi-source agreement (MSA)-defined modules. A pluggable optical transceiver defined by an MSA agreement can include advanced integrated functions for carrier-grade operation which preserves the existing MSA specifications allowing the pluggable optical transceiver to operate with any compliant MSA host device with advanced features and functionality, such as Forward Error Correction (FEC), framing, and OAM&P directly on the pluggable optical transceiver. The advanced integrated can be implemented by the pluggable optical transceiver separate and independent from the host device.
摘要:
An apparatus adapted to operate a pluggable optical transceiver in a plurality of modulation schemes includes core circuitry adapted to interface with a host device, wherein the host device is adapted to support the pluggable optical transceiver; direct detection modulation circuitry communicatively coupled to the core circuitry; coherent modulation circuitry communicatively coupled to the core circuitry; and selection circuitry adapted to operate one of the direct detection modulation circuitry and the coherent modulation circuitry based on a selection depending on an application of the pluggable optical transceiver.
摘要:
An optical transceiver configured to operate in a host device includes an electrical interface communicatively coupled to the host device to interface electrically with the host device, wherein the optical transceiver is compliant with a Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) which is supported by the host device; optical transceiver components communicatively coupled to the electrical interface, wherein the optical transceiver components are configured to optically interface signals with a second optical transceiver to form an optical link; and electronic dispersion compensation circuitry communicatively coupled to the optical transceiver components and configured to electronically compensate for optical fiber chromatic and/or polarization mode dispersion associated with the optical link, separate and independent from the host device.
