Minimizing the need for signal processing in optical modules has many advantages including significantly lowering latency, power consumption and cost . The independent Open Eye industry consortium is committed to investing its amassed innovation and engineering resources for the development of an industry-standard optical interconnect , leveraging seamless component interoperability among a broad group of industry-leading technology providers, including providers of electronics, lasers and optical component
The Open Eye MSA approach is a natural evolution relative to today’s high-volume optical nodes, enabling users to scale to next generation Baud rates . The initial Open Eye MSA specification will focus on 53Gbps per lane PAM-4 solutions for 50G SFP, 100G DSFP, 200G QSFP, and 400G QSFP-DD, and OSFP single mode modules. Subsequent specifications will address multimode and 100Gbps per lane applications.
The MSA is developing optical transmitter and receiver specifications to enable optical module implementation using a wide range of optical and electronics technologies
