JDSU Offers Low-Cost Optical Detector Chip for GPON
JDSU began shipping an avalanche photo detector (APD) chip designed for GPON deployments. In order to make APD chips affordable for the GPON market, JDSU said it leveraged its manufacturing expertise to reduce production complexity, while retaining the same high reliability and performance of legacy APD chips. The chip is based on a planar platform, known for higher reliability and easier fabrication. JDSU has shipped tens of thousands of APD chips for telecom applications, with a reputation for field performance and reliability.
JDSU is currently developing packaged versions of the APD chip for the GPON space and other telecommunications markets.http://www.jdsu.com/

You just read about JDSU. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Network Instruments built Network and application performance monitoring. What became of it?
Network Instruments brought Network and application performance monitoring to Networking. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by JDSU for US$200M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside JDSU today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about Cost. Here is what it replaced:
Intel Optane / 3D XPoint served 2017–2022. What ultimately replaced it?
Intel Optane / 3D XPoint a resistive, phase-change-like storage-class memory that sat between DRAM and flash - byte-addressable, persistent, and denser than DRAM. Its job passed to Cost — 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.
