Optoplex Corporation, a leading supplier of innovative fiber-optic components for the next-generation communication systems, announced that its new optical performance monitor (OPM)/Optical Channel Monitors (OCM) can fully support 40-Gb/s modulation rate.

Optoplex’s OPM/OCM products are based on scanning tunable filter technology, which requires only a single-element photo-detector for measuring channel power and center wavelength. By comparison with sensor array based technology, it is an intrinsically low-cost approach to meet today's explosive network demands. With advanced algorithm and innovative signal discerning elements, Optoplex’s OPM/OCM is now capable of detecting 40-Gb/s signals with duobinary, DPSK, or DQPSK modulations, in 50 or 100 GHz channel spacing. Along with other innovative products, Optoplex is now becoming a critical player for the 40-Gb/s components.

Optoplex provides customized solutions to telecom network equipment and testing instrument providers for wavelength routing and signal conditioning. Current product families include DPSK demodulator/Delay line interferometer (DLI), DQPSK demodulator, 90-degree optical hybrid, Optical interleaver, Tunable optical filter / Reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM), Optical performance monitor (OPM) / Optical channel monitor (OCM).
