There was a lot related to 100-Gbps discussed at OFC 2014 in San Francisco, and Lightwave Editorial Director Stephen Hardy summarizes the highlights in this final podcast in our series. Topics include pluggable coherent CFP and CFP2 modules for the line side, new DSPs for such applications, and other enabling technologies, such as integrated coherent transmitters and integrated coherent transceivers. The client side gets its due as well, with a look at the advent of CFP4 modules and action within the QSFP28 form factor. Emerging optical transceiver MSAs for data center applications of around 1-2 km also are covered.
