JDSU Demos Tunable PIC

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 5, 2007 -- JDSU announced today it has demonstrated a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) that combines a tunable laser and optical modulator, using a technology known as the integrated laser Mach-Zehnder (ILMZ), that will enable it to develop smaller, higher-performance and more cost-effective tunable systems that support faster network speeds. The new PIC uses a widely tunable laser and a Mach-Zehnder modulator on a single chip small enough to fit on the tip of a finger. It will be incorporated into full-band tunable transponders and transceivers in compact packages, such as 300-PIN small-form...Read full article
