Intel Labs has demonstrated an eight-wavelength distributed feedback (DFB) laser array that is fully integrated on a silicon wafer. The laser array, which is built on Intel’s commercial 300-millimeter silicon photonics manufacturing process, delivers output power uniformity of +/- 0.25 decibel (dB) and wavelength spacing uniformity of ±6.5% that exceed industry specifications. Intel Labs says […]
EFFECT Photonics, which is a developer of integrated coherent optics solutions and a spin-off from the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, opened its Americas Headquarters in Maynard, Massachusetts. The new facility provides further support for North and South American customers and partners as well as for global customers with operations in the region. […]
EFFECT Photonics, which is a spin-off from the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, announced plans to open an office in the Boston area. EFFECT says its US-based team will be a customer-focused expansion of the engineering, product testing & verification, customer support and marketing capacity to complement its European teams. “Photonics is a […]
Alaska Communications is collaborating with the University of Michigan’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences to allow earthquake monitoring data to be collected from the ocean floor via the company’s subsea fiber optic cable. University of Michigan Assistant Professor Ƶack Spica and a graduate student traveled to Alaska Communications’ landing station in Florence, Oregon last […]
The California Research and Education Network (CalREN) has built a new and diverse fiber path between Sacramento and Northern California, adding to its inland route. The new path creates a diverse 260-mile regional loop from Sacramento and back, traveling through Colusa, Corning, Palo Cedro, and Chico. The path has 3.2 terabits of spectrum capacity and […]
GÉANT will deploy Infinera’s programmable and open packet optical SDN solution on its pan-European network, which interconnects Europe’s National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) and supports over 50 million users at 10,000 institutions across the continent. Infinera said GÉANT has tested and validated two key components of its packet optical SDN solution, the Open Transport […]
Imec and Ghent University demonstrated for the first time the ability to grow indium phosphide lasers monolithically integrated on 300mm silicon substrates in a CMOS pilot line. The researchers used a production grade metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxial (MOVPE) growth reactor to grow an indium phosphide semiconductor in a pre-patterned oxide template , realizing indium phosphide waveguide […]
Verizon announced plans to begin 5G field trials in 2016. The benefits of 5G are expected to include 50x throughput performance over 4G, latency in the single milliseconds, and the ability to handle exponentially more Internet-connected devices to accommodate the expected explosion of the Internet of Everything. Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Ericsson, Nokia, Qualcomm and Samsung participated […]
Obsidian Strategics, a privately-held company based in Canada that offers InfiniBand products featuring range extension, routing and encryption, announced plans for a new platform that will take InfiniBand to 400 Gbps rates over WAN distances. Obsidian’s Longbow technology allows an InfiniBand fabric — normally a short-range network (up to 17m) used in supercomputers and data […]
