Data center interconnect solutions evolve rapidly, taking advantage of the latest optical transmission technologies. Recently, low-cost direct detection optical technologies have been introduced as an alternative to coherent transmission. In this presentation, Niall Robinson will compare and contrast these two solutions and identify benefits and drawbacks for different deployment applications such as cost, power and capacity implications.
