Oki Optical Components Unveils New Broadband Amplifier for 40-Gbps Networks

September 30, 2002, Sunnyvale, CA. Oki Optical Components (OOC), a leading technology partner for the new era of digital communications and convergence, today released a new 45-GHz Broadband Amplifier, in both module and die forms, for the 40-Gbps marketplace. The KGM8010 module and KGA8010 die are designed especially for OC-768-based fiber optic networks, delivering a flexible, multi-purpose amplifier and optical modulator driver that is compact and easy for customers to integrate into their 40-Gbps Metro, Intermediate and Long-haul network infrastructures.

"With the addition of the KGM8010 to our product line, Oki has fulfilled its goal of becoming a one stop shop for 40-Gbps optical components," said Dennis Chu, senior product marketing manager at OOC. "Building on the strength of our 10-Gbps products, we now can offer customers a comprehensive suite of solutions for their 40-Gbps network needs, whether they are looking for modulators (EAM), integrated laser modulators with DFB lasers (EML) or modulator drivers. By offering both a module and a die, we are able to provide our range of customers with a driver package that best suits their needs."

The KGM8010, which is a general-purpose broadband amplifier with Bias-Tee integrated inside, provides a complete driver module package with a small form factor that offers a wide frequency range of 100-KHz to 45-GHz, low power dissipation and is easy to integrate into 40-Gbps optical networks. The device also features an adjustable output DC bias level and 2.4 mm input/output connectors. Applications for the KGM8010 include use as a baseband amplifier, optical modulator, and in high-speed test instruments. The KGA8010 (die) is a broadband distributed amplifier that uses Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) and coplanar waveguide technologies. Applications for the KGA8010 include pre-amplifiers, baseband amplifiers, electro-absorption-modulator drivers and low-noise amplifiers and gain amplifiers for millimeter wave-band radio communication systems.

Features of the KGM8010 include:

  • Wide bandwidth: 100 KHz - 45 GHz
  • Low power consumption: 0.76W
  • 18dB gain
  • Integrated Bias-Tee for output DC bias adjustment
  • Single power supply
  • Small package

Features of the KGA8010 include:

  • High gain: 11.5dB
  • Low noise: 3.5dB
  • Broadband: >50GHz
  • High output power: 12dBm
