Chorum Technologies' Optical Harmonic Equalizer Wins Fiberoptic Product News 2001 Technology Award.Business Editors & High Tech Writers Optical Fiber Communications Conference Booth #1739 RICHARDSON, Texas Richardson is a suburb in Dallas County and Collin County, Texas. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 91,803, while according to a 2006 estimate, the population had grown to 99,200. & ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 18, 2002 Chorum Technologies, a leading provider of all-optical processors and subsystems for low-cost, high-capacity networks, today announced its PolarWave(TM)Optical Harmonic Equalizer has been selected as a 2001 Technology Award winner by Fiberoptics Product News (FPN FPN Fixed Pattern Noise (variation of the pixel response at one moment of an image sensor in the dark) FPN Fixed Penalty Notice (UK law enforcement) FPN Fundación Patagonia Natural FPN Fine Print Note ). Chorum Technologies' Optical Harmonic Equalizer (OHE OHE medical record abbreviation for ovariohysterectomy. ) was featured in the December issue of FPN. Twelve products were selected from more than 2,000 new products publicized in the publication's New Product pages, Editor's Choice and on front covers. About the Optical Harmonic Equalizer Chorum Technologies' OHE is part of the company's PolarModule(TM) line of optical subsystems. The OHE performs advanced optical signal processing See DSP. applications in Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing See WDM. (DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing ) networks and was introduced last March at the 2001 Optical Fiber Communications Conference in Anaheim, Calif. The OHE utilizes the company's patented polarization processing and liquid crystal technologies to provide dynamic gain equalization In communications, techniques used to reduce distortion and compensate for signal loss (attenuation) over long distances. for a new generation of optical networks. The OHE dynamically adjusts the broadband gain profile of optical amplifiers to ensure that the power levels of DWDM optical signals are equalized without requiring a conversion from optical-to-electrical-to-optical. The OHE enables more cost-effective, higher bandwidth and longer-reach optical networks. "We are delighted that our Optical Harmonic Equalizer was selected from more than 2,000 applications for the Fiberoptic Product News 2001 Technology Awards," said Scott Grout Grout A binding or structural agent used in construction and engineering applications. Grout is typically a mixture of hydraulic cement and water, with or without fine aggregate; however, chemical grouts are also produced. , Chorum Technologies' president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "To be recognized by such a great publication as a company with industry-leading, and now award-winning products, is valuable validation about us to our customers and a boost to the industry at large." Chorum Technologies will demonstrate its PolarWave(TM) products, including the Optical Harmonic Equalizer, at 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 exhibition booth #1739.
