The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) is starting a new 100G project titled “VSR 28G Common Electrical Chip-to- Module Interface” which will support the use of less complex, lower power 100G optical modules. Feedback from attendees at the OIF’s Common Electrical Interface (CEI) workshop, held February 1, was that a very short reach chip-to-module electrical interface is needed to enable 100G optical modules that do not implement full retiming in the module.
A new, more efficient low-cost microring resonator for high speed telecommunications systems has been developed and tested by Professor Roberto Morandotti’s INRS team in collaboration with Canadian, American, and Australian researchers. This technological advance capitalizes on the benefits of optical fibers to transmit large quantities of data at ultra-fast speeds. The results of the team’s work, just published in the prestigious journal Nature Photonics, will facilitate the transition from electronic to optical communications, the future solution for meeting the growing needs of Internet and cellphone users.
MPLS & Ethernet World Congress 2010 – Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation (Pink Sheets: VTSS) today introduced the Jaguar™ family of Ethernet devices designed specifically for service provider Carrier Ethernet applications. Utilizing a new architecture from Vitesse, this family offers an optimized feature set that is critical for transitioning today’s TDM circuit-switched networks to modern, packet-based Ethernet networks. This transition enables carriers worldwide to provide expanded services to users of wired and wireless networks. With the Jaguar family of devices, Ethernet services are delivered faster with greater flexibility at a lower cost.
MRV COMMUNICATIONS, INC., today announced that its OptiSwitch carrier-class Ethernet access product line will participate as part of the European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC) multi-vendor interoperability demo at the MPLS & Ethernet World Congress 2010 event held Feb. 9-13 in Paris. MRV is a leading networking company with a full line of packet-optical transport (P-OTS), carrier Ethernet, 40G networking and out-of-band networking products.
ARRIS (Nasdaq: ARRS) will demonstrate its broadband access, advanced video and transport solutions to Korean service providers at the KCTA Show in Seoul, Korea, March 3-6, 2010. Korean cable operators and ISPs face stiff competition from national telecoms providers in delivering ultra high speed data service and video, and are looking for the most cost-efficient and optimized infrastructure solutions to meet their growing customer demands.
Occam Networks®, Inc. (Nasdaq:OCNW), a leading broadband access supplier offering multiservice access platform (MSAP) solutions based on pure packet technologies, announced today that its ON 2500 series GPON Optical Network Terminals (ONT) have been added to the List of Materials for use in telecommunications networks by USDA Rural Development borrowers.
GAO Instruments recommends this compact Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR)
Broadcom Corporation (Nasdaq: BRCM), a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Teknovus, a leading supplier of Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) chipsets and software. EPON is a technology providing broadband services at up to 10 Gigabits per second over fiber optic cables. EPON represents approximately 94% of the FTTx (e.g. Fiber-to-the-Home) connections in the Asia Pacific region. According to the Dell’Oro Group, the Asia Pacific PON market is expected to grow from 22.8 million to 94.5 million subscribers by 2014, a CAGR of 33% (2009-2014).
MIT researchers have demonstrated the first laser built from germanium that can emit wavelengths of light useful for optical communications. It's also the first germanium laser to operate at room temperature. Unlike the materials typically used in lasers, germanium is easy to incorporate into existing processes for manufacturing silicon chips. So the result could prove an important step toward computers that move data — and maybe even perform calculations — using light instead of electricity.
JDSU (NASDAQ: JDSU and TSX: JDU) today announced its next-generation wavelength selective switch (WSS) module, the Mini 50 Gigahertz (GHz) WSS. Providing optical components that help network equipment manufacturers and service providers optimize networks has become increasingly important as consumers continue to access more bandwidth-intensive applications, such as video, over the internet.
