Optical Transceivers

Finisar^® Transceivers and Transponders for Datacom and Telecom Applications

Coherent's broad product selection and innovative technology have made us the optical module manufacturer of choice for all major networking equipment vendors worldwide. We have taken a leading role in transforming the data communications and telecommunications equipment market, from utilizing discrete optical components to leveraging the design and pay-as-you-grow flexibility offered by pluggable modules.

Our transceivers are compliant with Ethernet, Fibre Channel, Infiniband, SONET/SDH/OTN, CPRI, OIF, and PON standards and operate at data rates in excess of 100 Gbps. They are capable of distances ranging from very short reach within a datacenter to campus, access, metro, and long-haul reaches, by utilizing a broad portfolio of internally designed and fabricated optical components such as 850 nm VCSELs, DFB lasers, EML lasers, wavelength-tunable lasers and coherent photonic integrated circuits. Our products also feature outstanding performance over extended voltage and temperature ranges, while minimizing jitter, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and power dissipation.

Patented Digital Diagnostics

Finisar^® transceivers feature a microprocessor and diagnostics interface that provides performance information on the data link. In real-time, users can remotely monitor received optical power, transmitted optical power, laser bias current, transceiver input voltage, and transceiver temperature of any transceiver in the network. These digital diagnostic functions provide network managers with a highly accurate and cost-effective tool for implementing reliable performance monitoring.
