Dear Colleagues,
At ECOC 2019, I received several clarifications from contributors about their TF data sets. I have accordingly updated the Margin and Yield analysis Tables newly numbered 4, 5, 6, and 7, see below. The changes are only a few tenths of a
dB from previous analysis.
Also added are new Tables 1, 2, and 3 for ER8, ER4, and ER1, respectively, comparing the Optical Margins between all the TF contributed data sets. Since Jan. 2018, every data set shows the same thing:
- ER8 does not have sufficient TX and RX Optical Margin to be manufacturable,
- ER1 and ER4 will benefit from decreasing TX OMA (min) and RX Sens (max).
TF contributors recognized that to meet the 40km ER8 reach requirement with sufficient manufacturing margin requires technologies. For example,
Shuto Yamamoto identified stronger FEC and
Xinyuan Wang identified enhanced EML, enhanced APD, and enhanced FEC. There may be others. When applied to ER8, these will fundamentally alter the spec, in unknown combination of TX OMA (min), RX Sens (max), penalties, and other changes. It is very unlikely
that the new technologies will optimally match the 40km ER8 spec. baseline in Draft 3.0.
The TF choice is simple:
- Adopt 30km reach ER8 spec. which is feasible today.
- Defer adopting any spec. until new technologies are proven to support 40km reach, and then write a new spec accordingly,
Adopting a 40km spec. not manufacturable with today’s technology does not serve anyone’s interests.
