OVERVIEW
Finisar is an industry leader in alternate modulation formats at 10Gb/s. Product offerings include
Return to Zero (RZ) and Duo-Binary, along with our standard NRZ products. All of the products
share a common mechanical footprint and electrical interface, making them fully interchangeable
on the line card.
The RZ modules are designed for long haul links that require exceptional OSNR performance. The
RZ design leverages over 90% of the NRZ product family to provide a high reliability, low cost RZ
solution.
Duo-Binary modulation allows users to achieve 160km transmission performance in the same form
factor as 80km NRZ products. This solution is not only cost competitive, but also eliminates the
need for bulky dispersion compensating fiber.
Both products are offered in the standard 3.5” x 4.5” x 0.53” MSA footprint. Using the same com-
ponents on the electrical interface simplifies qualification of multiple modulation formats by pro-
viding a consistent board level interface.
The RZ and Duo-Binary products are currently shipping in volume manufacturing..
