Hi Steve,

I tend to agree with Brad. We cannot specify the reach based upon empirical laser data. We must consider the specifications and assume that somebody is going to release a product tomorrow that is 100% compliant, but minimally meets the laser specs for SR.

The goal of this maintenance effort should stick to confirmation that existing SR optics (per spec) will support the reaches defined and I think we have done that. We can debate about how much margin should be necessary as this might allow a slight increase in reach, but 400m is a nice round number and retaining some margin will increase confidence in passing the spec readily.

Thanks Steve.

BTW, you make reference to last week's presentation. I remember reviewing it on the conference call but was it ever uploaded? I'd like to be able to reference back to it.

As mentioned on the call, the concern is lack of 100% coverage with available 10GBASE-S PMDs. If only a subset of PMDs would satisfy the spectral width requirements for achieving 500m reach, then that subset would require a new PMD name to distinguish them as exceeding the 10GBASE-S requirements. I believe some felt that we don't add a new PMD specification to 802.3 without a PAR that permits use to do so. A new PMD is probably considered by many to be outside the scope of the revision PAR.

Cheers,

Brad

Brad,

I didn't do it for spectral width because I attached a plot of all of the VCSEL spectral widths but here is the raw data:

0.2	1	1.43%
0.25	3	5.71%
0.3	25	41.43%
0.35	26	78.57%
0.4	11	94.29%
0.45	3	98.57%
More	1	100.00%

So in the proposal we made last week, ~40% of the lasers would support 500m with 1.1 dB margin; with a little less margin, I think .35nm will work suggesting that ~78% of the lasers would support the proposal.

Steve,

In bullet points #2 and 3, you list the worst case wavelength and OMA power. Can you also do the same for bullet point #1 for spectral width?

Thanks,
Brad

Matt,

I had an error in my calculation:

1. The average spectral width is 0.317

2. The average wavelength is 850.6; worst case 845.7

3. The average OMA power is -1.41; worst case -2.42

Using these numbers in the IEEE model yields 4.9 dB of margin at 400m.

Using these numbers in the IEEE model yields 2.6 dB of margin at 550m.

Matt etal,

I had our guys look at the VCSELs we have purchased on the open market used in our test facilities; there are 70 transceivers from 6 different manufacturers. 78% of the spectral widths are less than 0.35. The triple trade-off numbers are as follows:

1. The average spectral width is 0.286

2. The average wavelength is 849.4; worst case 845.7

3. The average OMA power is -1.24; worst case -2.42

Using these numbers in the IEEE model yields 5.2 dB of margin at 400m.

Using these numbers in the IEEE model yields 3.3 dB of margin at 550m.

The more I look at this, I think we are being REALLY, REALLY conservative in IEEE, maybe too much so; here is the distribution of spectral width:

Hello to the now very active IEEE Maintenance reflector!

As I mentioned during my presentation at the IEEE plenary in July I would like to schedule a few calls to follow up on the questions/comments raised during the meeting. (see http://www.ieee802.org/3/maint/public/traverso_1_0711.pdf)

My goal for these calls per the discussion on the floor is to try to build more confidence in the proposed reach value. I believe that there was broad consensus at the meeting that (a) goal of specifying value is worthwhile,(b) theoretical analysis was sound. I hope to confirm my perception at the first call & discuss further justification for 400m reach.

My intention is to submit a comment by the comment deadline of Aug 26^th.

Call timing:

Wednesday Aug 10th, 10 – 11:30 am PT

Wednesday Aug 17^th , 10 – 11:30 am PT

best regards
