Cielo Communications to Demonstrate Industry's First 2.5 GBPS VCSEL-Based 1310 nm Parallel Array Link At Optical Fiber Communication Conference.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BROOMFIELD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 15, 2001 Cielo To Demonstrate 1310 nm VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) Pronounced "vixel." A type of laser diode that emits light from its surface rather than its edge. A VCSEL's circular beam is easy to couple with a fiber, and due to its surface-emission architecture, can be tested Array Technology At Booth No. 3087 Cielo Communications, an industry leader in Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology and integrated optical subsystems, today announced that they will be demonstrating the industry's first 2.5 Gbps VCSEL-based 1310 nm parallel array link 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 in Anaheim, CA, March 19th - 21st. This exhibit demonstrates that 1310 nm VCSEL array technology can be effectively packaged into an optical subsystem. Utilizing a monolithic array of 1310 nm directly-modulated VCSELs, the technology demonstration features high data rate transmission over standard single-mode fiber See singlemode fiber. in ultra-dense transmit and receive modules. For added flexibility, each channel can support speeds from 155 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps. This demonstrates the feasibility of using this technology for ultra-dense SONET-based optical interconnect and intra-system solutions for telecommunications. For more information about this industry-first technology demonstration, please visit Cielo Communications in booth No. 3087 at OFC, which is being held at the Anaheim Convention Center Anaheim Convention Center is a major convention center in Anaheim, California. It is located across from the Disneyland Resort on Katella Avenue. Much of the Anaheim Convention Center has been renovated in recent years with state-of-the-art facilities. . Exhibits will be open Monday, March 19th through Wednesday, March 21st.
