NeoPhotonics Doubles Production of Tunable Lasers for 40G & 100G Transport
NeoPhotonics is in the process of doubling capacity for production of narrow linewidth tunable lasers.
“Our narrow linewidth tunable lasers are key components for coherent transport in telecommunications systems, which we believe is rapidly emerging as a dominate architecture for 40 and 100 Gbps networks,�? said Tim Jenks, CEO of NeoPhotonics. “We believe there is currently a shortage of these critical products while demand continues to grow. We are in the process of more than doubling our production capacity of narrow linewidth tunable lasers with minimal expected additional capital expenditures. We anticipate our added capacity to be on-line in the first quarter of 2012.�?
NeoPhotonics offers these lasers in an OIF MSA standard ITLA form factor and the products are designed to provide the low noise and narrow linewidths required for 40 and 100 Gbps coherent applications. http://www.neophotonics.com

You just read about NeoPhotonics. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Santur built Tunable lasers and optical components. What became of it?
Santur brought Tunable lasers and optical components to Optical. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by NeoPhotonics for US$39.2M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside NeoPhotonics today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
