Optical communications has been a key enabler of telecom growth and will continue to offer relief to service providers squeezed between limited revenue growth and rising costs; that was the message at today's ECOC Exhibition Market Focus seminar from Dana Cooperson, VP Optical Infrastructure at influential industry analyst house Ovum.
Advanced Medical Optics, Inc., the global leader in advanced refractive technologies for eye care professionals and patients, has named Simon Kilvington, Ph.D., director of microbiology.
NeoPhotonics and ECI Telecom today announced here at the European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication (ECOC 2008) that NeoPhotonics' new Ultra-Low Loss Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) modules are being used in ECI Telecom's XDM® Optical Networking Platform. The Ultra-Low Loss ROADM incorporates NeoPhotonics' advanced planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology to significantly reduce the insertion loss and increase the pass band, thus meeting the requirements for next generation 40 Gbps optical transmission systems.
New miniature image-capturing technology powered by water, sound, and surface tension could lead to smarter and lighter cameras in everything from cell phones and automobiles to autonomous robots and miniature spy planes.
JDSU(R) today announced that it has created several new features that will be a critical part of its new photonic integrated amplifier (PIA) platform that was also announced today. These technologies will contribute to the decreased size, improved cost savings, increased performance and reconfigurability of the new amplifier platform that will re-energize weakened network signals traveling long distances over dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) networks.
CoreOptics Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of 40 Gbps and 10 Gbps optical networking subsystems, and ADVA Optical Networking today announced joint development of the second generation of 10 Gbps Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation (MLSE-2) technology on ADVA Optical Networking’s FSP 3000 Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) platform.
A new EU-funded project to boost the capacity and efficiency of the next generation of optical networks has just got underway. The PHASORS ('Phase sensitive amplifier systems and optical regenerators and their applications') initiative is funded under the 'Information and communication technology' (ICT) Theme of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) to the tune of EUR 3.9 million.
A new line of silicon-based products and ultra VOA arrays is available from AMS Technologies in Germany. The manufacturer is Kotura, Inc. is a worldwide leader in silicon photonics.
The PRIMA facility with TNO's Star Separators was successfully tested during a "first light" test at the beginning of September. PRIMA will set a new benchmark in astrometry and will enable exoplanet detection with high precision astrometric measurements as well as imaging of faint objects.
The PRIMA instrument of the ESO Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) recently saw "first light" at its new home atop Cerro Paranal in Chile. When fully operational, PRIMA will boost the capabilities of the VLTI to see sources much fainter than any previous interferometers, and enable astrometric precision unmatched by any other existing astronomical facility.
