The NeoPhotonics Podcast provides insights and best practices for optical communications, lasers, and their applications.
9. Will IPoDWDM go Mainstream?
Ron Johnson, Senior Director of Product Management and Architecture of Cisco and Winston Way, Ph.D and Chief Technology Officer of NeoPhotonics, discuss IP over DWDM.  This technology has been around for a while, but has not necessarily gone mainstream.  How will 400ZR and ZR+ change this?  Discussion of how are things changing for Cloud and Telecom networks.  Hosted by John Houghton.

5. Sensing with Coherent Light and LiDAR
Laser linewidth is the finite spectral width related to phase fluctuations in emitted laser light. A lower linewidth implies a purer laser frequency. If a laser’s phase noise is zero, it has a single pure frequency, which is just a line in the frequency domain. Ergun Canoglu, PhD and Director of Sensor Products is interviewed by John Houghton.

4.  Linewidth as a Critical Parameter for Coherent Communications Systems
Why narrow laser linewidth, which implies low phase noise, is a critical parameter for lasers used in coherent systems.  Winston Way, PhD and Chief Technical Officer at NeoPhotonics is interviewed by John Houghton.
