Broadcom Corporation, a global leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications, today announced the industry's first family of 65 nanometer (nm) 10 Gigabit (10G) physical layer (PHY) devices that support data rates ranging from 9.953 Gigabits per second (Gbps) to 11.35 Gbps. Combining the industry's lowest power consumption with industry-leading long reach jitter performance, these next generation PHYs are fully integrated, Multi Source Agreement (MSA)-compliant devices that support multi-rate applications including OC-192 SONET/SDH, 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), 10G Fibre Channel (10FC), and optical transport networks (OTN).
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.
The new 5M-HR telecentric lens from Moritex has been designed for use with high resolution camera sensors (5 MPixel) with very small pixel pitch.
Magnetic resonance scans will be safer for children and other patients needing anaesthesia, thanks to new kinds of optical sensors developed by a team of European researchers.
Combining an innovative ergonomic design with a reduced footprint, the Eclipse MA200 incorporates an integrated intelligent nosepiece, making it ideal for inspection, QC, evaluation, measuring and analysis of key parameters in metallic and electronic components in the automotive, electronics and materials-related industries.
FIRSTSIGHT VISION, part of the STEMMER IMAGING Group, has reported a 13.4% growth in revenue in the financial year to 30 June 2008. Director Mark Williamson commented: "This is an outstanding set of results, particularly considering the current economic downturn in the UK. It reflects both the quality of the optics, illumination, cable and software products that we sell and the added value that we bring to our OEM customers through our partnership schemes. Of course the entire team at the company is also to be congratulated on their superb efforts throughout the year."
A new advance in cellular imaging is allowing scientists to better understand the movement of cells in the area around tumors, also known as the tumor microenvironment. In a recent article published in Disease Models + Mechanisms (DMM), dmm.biologists.org, Zena Werb and colleagues used optimized methods of laser microscopy to track the movement of live cells in a mouse model of breast cancer.
Luxtera, the worldwide leader in Silicon CMOS Photonics, today announced that the German private foundation Berthold Leibinger Stiftung awarded L. Cary Gunn, co-founder and chief technology officer for Luxtera, with the international prize Berthold Leibinger Innovationspreis. The jury selected Gunn for his innovative work in the development of laser technology with specific advancements in Silicon CMOS Photonics.
