JDSU Makes Tiny TOSA

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
MILIPITAS, Calif., Jan. 22, 2007 -- JDSU said today it has created the smallest widely tunable transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA) available for the dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) transceiver market. It made the announcement at Photonics West 2008 (Booth 1327), during which it also announced it can now combine thin-film and liquid crystal polymer technologies to produce custom birefringent components by enabling the use of polarized light in a "novel manner" to create new features in a variety of markets. "The new TOSA represents a dramatic reduction in size and cost compared to previous discrete solutions...Read full article

    astronomy
    The scientific observation of celestial radiation that has reached the vicinity of Earth, and the interpretation of these observations to determine the characteristics of the extraterrestrial bodies and phenomena that have emitted the radiation.
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
