Fraunhofer HHI proudly announces the unlimited access to C and O Band Mach-Zehnder Modulators for more than 64 Gbaud using its mature and efficient Indium Phosphide technology.

Optionally, these modulators are available in an IQ configuration or are monolithically integrated with a DFB laser. Adding Fraunhofer HHI’s expertise in driver co-design for ultra-low power consumption results in e.g. 2.3 pJ/bit for 128 Gbit/s.

Components for 1Tb/s Transmission

Fraunhofer HHI provides 100 GHz single and balanced photodetector modules operating from the O- to the L-band. The intended application for the modules is test and measurement.

Fraunhofer HHI presents a robust, hybrid infrared LED link with parallel 60 GHz transmission for use as a mobile backhaul solution with low latency and high availability. Also suitable for wireless point-to-point communication in industrial environments.

Live demonstration of a real-time 100 Gb/s THz wireless communication link at a carrier frequency of 300 GHz. The demo comprises a single high-speed digital-coherent real-time THz modem and broadband THz transceiver frontends. The Fraunhofer HHI shows a high-resolution video transmission.

It is crucial to develop ultra-high speed optical components to meet the continuously growing demand for bandwidth. The Fraunhofer HHI researchers developed a 100 GHz Coherent Receiver Frontend (CRF-100G), offering 200 GHz optical bandwidth detection with polarization- and phase-diversity in C+L-band. Its unique feature of customizable optical extender heads enables to retain high signal integrity, resulting in robust testing and measurement performance for cutting-edge research and development activities.
