Bookham Demos 40-Gb/s Chip

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 27, 2008 -- Bookham Inc. announced it has developed and demonstrated an ultrasmall, 5-mm, 40-Gb/s optical differential quadrature phase-shift-keying modulator chip, implemented through proprietary indium phosphide Mach-Zehnder (InP MZ) technology for use in the 40-Gb/s market. Bookham said the smaller InP MZ platform will allow it to offer 40-Gb/s products in smaller footprints, compared to existing 40-Gb/s systems that use larger optics. It said the InP TL5000 wideband tunable iTLA has been proven for use in both 10 and 40-Gb/s systems. The company said it is now combining the tunable laser with...Read full article

    indium phosphide
    Indium phosphide (InP) is a compound semiconductor material composed of indium (In) and phosphorus (P). It belongs to the III-V group of semiconductors, where elements from groups III and V of the periodic table combine to form a variety of important semiconductor materials. Indium phosphide is known for its favorable electronic and optical properties, making it widely used in the fabrication of optoelectronic devices. Key features and properties of indium phosphide include: Bandgap: Indium...
