Leading Optical Chip and Module Manufacturers Target 40 Gbit/s Solution with an Optical Device (XLMD) MSA.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Eudyna Devices Inc., Mitsubishi Electric Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (三菱電機株式会社 Corp., NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. Electronics Corp., Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd., Opnext, Inc. and Sumitomo Electric Industries Sumitomo Electric Industries (住友電気工業 , Ltd., today announced at OFC/NFOEC 2007 the formation of a Multi-Source Agreement (MSA (Metropolitan Service Area) An urban area with at least 50,000 people plus surrounding counties. There are 306 MSAs and 428 RSAs (rural service areas) in the U.S. MSAs and RSAs are used to allocate cellular licenses. ) for compatible sources of optical transmitter and receiver devices for use in 40 Gbit/s optical transceiver modules. This initiative, created in response to an increase in projected demand, specifies the common mechanical dimensions, footprint, pin functions and performance of the optical transmitter and receiver devices; key compact optical components used in 40 Gbit/s optical transceiver modules. "This agreement will help support the emergence of the 40 Gbit/s compact module market, providing advanced solutions to high capacity network and storage systems," said the MSA Committee. "In the long term, all members will consolidate their current models into MSA compliant products in order to achieve consistent customer delivery and market growth." In order to construct the broadband internetworking infrastructure, 10 Gbit/s optical transmission interfaces are widely deployed in Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), Local Area Network (LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. ) and Storage Area Network (SAN). 40 Gbit/s optical transmission interfaces are currently being used within the industry. The 10 Gbit/s interfaces, TOSA Tosa Historic region of the Japanese island of Shikoku. It dates at least to the Heian period, when Ki no Tsurayuki (868?–945?), editor of Japan's first imperially commissioned poetry anthology, wrote a fictional diary drawing on his experiences as governor of Tosa. and ROSA devices, that were made compatible among manufacturers through a 10 Gbit/s Miniature Device Multi-Source Agreement (XMD-MSA), have been supplied and widely recognized as the industry standard. Subsequently, those companies involved in 40 Gbit/s optical interfaces, the six chip and module manufactures, formed an MSA for optical devices for quick development and the ease of component procurement for optical transceiver modules. The new MSA defines the external-modulation laser transmitter devices and the PIN Photodiode A light sensor (photodetector) that allows current to flow in one direction from one side to the other when it absorbs photons (light). The more light, the more the current. Used to detect light pulses in optical fibers and other light-sensitive applications, it works the opposite of a - Trans-impedance amplifier (PIN-TIA) receiver devices that comply with 40 Gbit/s interface standard of OC-768. The MSA targets transmission modules for up to 2km applications. This MSA intends to establish the compatible optical devices as defined below: (1) Common mechanical dimensions (2) Common interface with common PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. design of 40 Gbit/s optical transceiver modules (3) Common pin assignment and functions (4) Common electrical and optical characteristics The MSA Committee plans to release the specifications for pigtail A cable that has an appropriate connector on one end and loose wires on the other. It is designed to patch into an existing line or to terminate the ends of a long run. Contrast with patch cord. type optical devices within 2007 and to finalize TOSA/ROSA specifications in step in accordance with the future standardization of pluggable optical transceivers.
