40G/100G/200G/400G PLUGGABLE OPTICAL TRANSCEIVERS WITH ADVANCED FUNCTIONALITY

摘要

Integrated performance monitoring (PM); optical layer operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P); alarming; amplification, and the like is described in optical transceivers, such as multi-source agreement (MSA)-defined modules. A pluggable optical transceiver defined by an MSA agreement can include advanced integrated functions for carrier-grade operation which preserves the existing MSA specifications allowing the pluggable optical transceiver to operate with any compliant MSA host device with advanced features and functionality, such as Forward Error Correction (FEC), framing, and OAM&P directly on the pluggable optical transceiver. The advanced integrated can be implemented by the pluggable optical transceiver separate and independent from the host device.

1. A pluggable optical transceiver configured to operate in a host device, the pluggable optical transceiver comprising:
a communication link configured to interface with the host device for providing a high-speed signal therebetween; framing and forward error correction circuitry configured to provide framing and forward error correction related to the high-speed signal; transmitter optical components communicatively coupled to the framing and forward error correction circuitry and configured to transmit a composite optical output signal; and receiver optical components communicatively coupled to the circuitry and configured to receive a composite optical input signal; wherein the framing and forward error correction is performed within the pluggable optical transceiver separately and independently from the host device.
