Cisco Optics Podcast Episode 21
Cisco Optics Podcast Episode 21. Learn how to Make Coherent Optics Small and Pluggable, with Tom Williams. Half 2 of 5.
Coherent optics have been the go-to answer for high-end optical transport methods for years. Finally these optics had been modularized and with latest advances in DSP design and optics manufacturing, this know-how is now accessible in small kind issue pluggable modules. Cisco acknowledged the significance of this know-how and bought the trade’s chief on this area, Acacia Communications in March of 2021. In Episode 21, we proceed our dialog with Tom Williams, Director of Technical Advertising, who joined Cisco through the Acacia acquisition. We get into Acacia’s distinctive method to creating coherent optics.
– Pat Chou, Cisco Optics Product Supervisor
