AOI Announces Transceiver for WDM-PON.SUGAR LAND, Texas -- 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) ), a leading manufacturer of laser diodes, photodetectors, and optical modules for fiber optic communications systems, today announces a small form-factor pluggable transceiver designed for operation in colorless col·or·less adj. 1. Lacking color. 2. Weak in color; pallid. 3. Lacking animation, variety, or distinction; dull. See Synonyms at dull. Optical Networking Communications between computers, telephones and other electronic devices using light. An optical network is far more reliable and has far greater potential transmission capacity than networking in the electrical domain. See optical fiber. Terminals (ONTs) used in Wavelength Division Multiplexed Passive Optical Networks (WDM-PONs). The new transceiver incorporates a specially-designed laser diode that accepts an injection-locking signal from a transmitter in the head-end portion of the WDM-PON. The transmission wavelength of the laser diode locks onto the wavelength of this locking signal. By utilizing this transceiver in the ONT ONT Ontario (old acronym - ON is now frequently used) ONT Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks (cisco CCNP exam) ONT Optical Network Terminal ONT Ontario Northland Railway , it is possible to design a single, "colorless" ONT that can operate at any wavelength needed in the upstream direction of the WDM-PON. The current device supports WDM-PON applications where the upstream signals are in the optical C-band (from 1533-nm to 1560-nm) and the downstream signals are in the optical L-band (from 1573-nm to 1600-nm). The device is electrically hot-pluggable and communicates over the 2-wire serial interface as specified in the SFP SFP Small Form-factor Pluggable (optical transceiver module) SFP Société Française de Physique (French Physics Society; Paris) Sfp Svenska Folkpartiet (Finnish: Swedish People~s Party) Multi Source Agreement.

The current devices operate at speeds up to 125 Mbps and have fiber pigtails for flexible installation options within the ONT. "AOI believes strongly in WDM-PON technology," comments Dr. Chau-Hong Kuo, Transceiver Product Manager at AOI. "We believe that this new transceiver will accelerate the development of this next-generation PON (Passive Optical Network) An optical point-to-multipoint access network. There are no optical repeaters or other active devices in a PON, hence the name "passive. technology by allowing our equipment manufacturer customers to build their systems around a pluggable standards-based SFP solution." Engineering samples of the new transceiver are expected to be offered commercially within 8 weeks, with production availability in the first quarter of 2009.
