GigOptix, Inc. (NYSE MKT: GIG), a leading supplier of semiconductor and optical components that enable high-speed information streaming, is showcasing a full 100G/200G DP-16QAM System using the GigOptix GX62472 100G driver and the CR-100B, a second generation 25G coherent Receiver courtesy of Picometrix, an Advanced Photonix Company, at the 38 th European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communications (ECOC) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The CR-100B receiver from Picometrix houses the GigOptix GX3222B, a dual channel 32Gbaud linear Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) designed for use in 100G DWDM optical receivers. This TIA is a high performance, silicon germanium, TIA with adjustable bandwidth control that enables its use in receiver modules in a number of fiber optic transmission systems such as current generation 100G DP‐QPSK optical systems in addition to future 400G optical systems. Key features of the GX3222B include:
- Adjustable frequency range supporting 28Gbaud up to 32Gbaud
- Differential gain up to 5000 Ω
- 660 mW low power consumption
- Linear gain with over 30dB of dynamic range
