A 1.55 mm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) that can supply high bit rates for the metro market was reported in a postdeadline paper at ECOC 2002 (Copenhagen, Denmark...
Jitter control in serializer/deserializer (SERDES) design is essential to the performance of optical transponder modules for communications applications. The three performance...
In his 1957 novel Homo Faber, Swiss writer Max Frisch defined technology as "the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it." It's a challenging observation...
The Ndrive networked digital drive is available in 10, 20, and 30 A PWM and linear versions. It includes digital and analog I/O, support for square-wave and sine-wave encoders...
Community antenna television (CATV or cable TV) networks were developed several decades ago to deliver a few channels of analog television to a fraction of the homes in a small...
While core and metro optical networks are the linchpin of the global telecommunications infrastructure, the architecture of the optical access network is still in development....
Coarse WDM (CWDM) is a 4, 8, or 16 wavelength-per-fiber technology developed in 2000 and now widely used for metro networking over Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel switching...
At ECOC 2002 (Copenhagen, Denmark), Graeme Maxwell and others at Corning Research Centre (Martlesham Heath, Ipswich, England) reported integrating a low-coupling-loss all-optical...
Kristina Johnson is dean of Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering. Previously she was director of the NSF/ERC Optoelectronics Computing Systems Center at the University...
At the IEEE LEOS Summer Topical Meetings in July, Christi K. Madsen and others at Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies (Murray Hill, NJ) reported using integrated ring resonators...
Integration of WDM channel selectors should be significantly simpler now that it an optical gate isn't needed for each channel. A new two-stage device in development at NTT Photonics...
