AOI Announces New 1310-nm Lasers for Telecommunications.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Optical Fiber Communications 2002 Booth 1976 SUGAR LAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 15, 2002 In a bid to help equipment manufacturers reduce costs and increase performance, Applied Optoelectronics Inc. (AOI AOI Area Of Interest AOI Automated Optical Inspection AOI Art of Illusion (3D modeling software) AOI Associated Oregon Industries AOI Angle Of Incidence AOI Age of Innocence (David Hamilton book, also a band) ) today announced the availability of two new 1310-nm laser modules. These cost-effective, uncooled, distributed feedback (DFB DFB acronym for dark, firm, dry meat. Called also dark cutting beef. ) lasers meet the growing need for high performance lasers for Internet and telecommunications systems. AOI will display these lasers at the Optical Fiber Communication (OFC OFC Office OFC Officer OFC Of Course OFC Oxygen Free Copper OFC Oceania Football Confederation (soccer) OFC Optical Fiber Cable OFC Optical Fiber Communications OFC Optical Fiber Conference ) Conference, March 19-21 in Anaheim, Calif. at booth 1976. Both lasers are offered in a standard coaxial package with single-mode fiber See singlemode fiber. and feature an advanced multiple quantum-well design. The DFB-1xxx-CX-2-3.2 is designed specifically to meet the unique demands of the new 10-gigabit Ethernet standard (IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.3a). This 3.2 gigabit-per-second laser is available in four wavelengths, corresponding to the 10-gigabit Ethernet LX-4 (WWDM WWDM Wide Wavelength Division Multiplexing (IEEE) WWDM Wideband Wavelength Division Multiplexing (Lucent) ) standard and is optimized for higher operating temperatures, as required by the standard. The DFB-1310-CX-2-2.5 is designed for SONET S16.1 and L16.1 applications. This 2.5 gigabit-per-second laser is ideal for use in metro networks Metro Networks is a broadcasting outsourcing company based in Houston, Texas. It is a subsidiary of Westwood One, which is managed by CBS Radio. The company operates a number of local and regional news and traffic facilities that provide regular reports to affiliates, together with and intermediate reach applications. "We're very excited to be one of the first laser manufacturers to produce a high performance laser module specifically designed for 10-gigabit Ethernet. Equipment designers need cost-effective lasers that meet rising performance standards and our new lasers meet these challenges," said Stefan Murry, AOI's Marketing Director. The devices are immediately available directly from AOI and are designed to be pin-compatible with industry-standard coaxial modules. However, the AOI devices feature lower operating current at high temperature as well as a high side-mode suppression ratio across a wide range of operating conditions. In addition to the two digital transmitter lasers, the company will soon offer a version of the device designed for analog transmission over the 50 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. to 860 MHz frequency range used to transmit cable television signals. "AOI is proud to offer new devices employing our cutting-edge high performance laser design. We believe that our technology can provide very high yield on these devices that will bring us the competitive advantage over the other manufacturers," said Wen-Yen Hwang, AOI's VP of Engineering.
