Cisco Optics Podcast Episode 23. Tips on how to Make Coherent Optics Small and Pluggable, with Tom Williams. Half 4 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 expertise is now obtainable in small kind issue pluggable modules. Cisco acknowledged the significance of this expertise and purchased the trade’s chief on this area, Acacia Communications in March of 2021.
