At OFC 2025, MACOM is presenting several key topics with detailed technical insights:
“The Evolution of Copper to Optical – Where is the Line?”: This presentation will explore the transition from copper to optical fiber technology, highlighting the significant improvements in data transmission speed and bandwidth. Key technical details include the use of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) to carry multiple signals simultaneously and the advantages of optical fiber such as higher data rates and longer transmission distances compared to copper
“Leveraging LPO for MOPA Fronthaul – Blueprints Beyond 5G”: This session will discuss the use of Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) in Mobile Optical Pluggable Architecture (MOPA) for fronthaul applications beyond 5G. It will cover the integration of novel optics for Cloud RAN, tight synchronization with coherent lite systems, and automated management including auto-negotiations.
“Highly Efficient EML with SOA for 50G PON Application”: This presentation will focus on the use of Electroabsorption Modulated Lasers (EML) integrated with Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOA) for 50G Passive Optical Network (PON) applications. Key technical details include the optimization of output power, reduction of facet reflection, and improvement of signal modulation quality. The integration of SOA helps in achieving higher power output and better performance in terms of noise reduction and signal quality.
These presentations will provide in-depth technical knowledge and showcase MACOM's advancements in optical connectivity solutions.
