Cisco Optics Podcast Episode 22. Find out how to Make Coherent Optics Small and Pluggable, with Tom Williams. Half 3 of 5.

Coherent optics have been the go-to answer for high-end optical transport methods for years. Ultimately, these optics had been modularized and with latest advances in DSP design and optics manufacturing, this expertise is now out there in small kind issue pluggable modules. Cisco acknowledged the significance of this expertise and bought the business’s chief on this area, Acacia Communications in March of 2021. In Episode 22, we proceed our dialog with Tom Williams, Director of Technical Advertising and marketing, who joined Cisco by way of the Acacia acquisition. We dive deeper into understanding coherent optics.
