Chorum Technologies Debuts New Dynamic Polarization Combiner for Wavelength Power Equalization.Business/Technology Editors NFOEC NFOEC National Fiber Optical Engineer Conference NFOEC National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference 2001 Booth No. 4725 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. & BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 2001 Company to Demonstrate New Intelligent Optical Products at National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference in Baltimore, July 8-11, 2001 Chorum Technologies, a leading provider of all-optical processors and subsystems for high-capacity networks, today announced it has expanded its PolarWave(TM) family of products to include the new PolarTune(TM) Dynamic Polarization Combiner for real-time power equalization In communications, techniques used to reduce distortion and compensate for signal loss (attenuation) over long distances. with integrated feedback control for use 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. Developed with Chorum Technologies' patented polarization processing and liquid crystal technologies, the Dynamic Polarization Combiner is a wavelength and polarization combiner that integrates voltage-controlled optical attenuation Loss of signal power in a transmission. Attenuation The reduction in level of a transmitted quantity as a function of a parameter, usually distance. It is applied mainly to acoustic or electromagnetic waves and is expressed as the ratio of power densities. for each input. The intensity of the optical inputs can be independently varied before combining the beams into a single output fiber. The Dynamic Polarization Combiner is highly reliable, nonmechanical and offers low insertion loss The amount of loss attributed to a particular device being used in (inserted into) the system. For example, a circuit added to filter out unwanted frequencies may reduce the output current by some amount. See injection loss. while maintaining a wide dynamic range. "With the Dynamic Polarization Combiner, we have introduced another new DWDM application based on our highly reliable liquid crystal and polarization technologies that solves the critical constraints associated with next-generation laser combining," said Dr. J.Y. Liu, Chorum Technologies' CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. . "The Dynamic Polarization Combiner offers a small footprint and all solid-state design to equalize e·qual·ize v. e·qual·ized, e·qual·iz·ing, e·qual·iz·es v.tr. 1. To make equal: equalized the responsibilities of the staff members. 2. To make uniform. the power of multiple optical inputs in a cost-competitive package." Chorum Technologies' Dynamic Polarization Combiner is in production and is available for sampling. In addition to the PolarTune(TM) Dynamic Polarization Combiner, Chorum Technologies also announced today (see separate release) its PolarCast(TM) BQ Series SL-100/200G Wideband Optical Slicer(TM) filter, at the National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference (NFOEC). Chorum Technologies will demonstrate its full line of PolarWave(TM) products at booth No.4725 at NFOEC. Product demonstrations will be available at these times: -- 2:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., Monday, July 9, 2001 -- 3 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 10, 2001 -- 11:50 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 11, 2001 About Chorum Technologies Chorum Technologies is a leading provider of all-optical processors and subsystems in the fast-growing fiber-optics market.
