Company Profile for PHOTEON Technologies GmbH.Business Editors --(BUSINESS WIRE) PHOTEON is a design and IP (Intellectual Property) company operating in the field of integrated optics Combining electrical and optical components on the same silicon-based substrates used in the fabrication of a semiconductor chip. Also called "silicon photonics," fiber-optic communications employs numerous integrated optics devices, including lasers, photodetectors, beam splitters, , developing components for PLC (Planar A technique developed by Fairchild Instruments that creates transistor sublayers by forcing chemicals under pressure into exposed areas. Planar superseded the mesa process and was a major step toward creating the chip. Lightwave Circuits) products as well as software tools for the optical industry. At present, PHOTEON holds a combined total of 7 patents and patent applications. Centrally located just a short drive from both Switzerland and Germany on the Lake of Constance, PHOTEON can boast a truly international team. The know-how and experience of our 15 design engineers have served to establish Photeon as one of the leading design centres for optical chips. The following are just a few examples of PHOTEON's designs and products: - Mux/Demux (4-64 channel AWG (American Wiring Gauge) A U.S. measurement standard of the diameter of non-ferrous wire, which includes copper and aluminum. In general, the thicker the wire, the greater the current-carrying capacity and the longer the distance it can span. - Arrayed Waveguide Grating Arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG) are commonly used as optical (de)multiplexers in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems. These devices are capable of multiplexing a large number of wavelengths into a single optical fiber, thereby increasing the transmission capacity of ) - OADMs (Optical Add Drop Multiplexers) - Optical switching arrays - PHOTEON's Optical Design AutomationTM (ODA ODA - Open Document Architecture (formerly Office Document Architecture). ) software, supplying the optimal taper for a predetermined pre·de·ter·mine v. pre·de·ter·mined, pre·de·ter·min·ing, pre·de·ter·mines v.tr. 1. To determine, decide, or establish in advance: input and output field distribution. In addition, PHOTEON is also currently working on highly integrated optical devices (Photonic Crystals), which far surpass existing optical and microelectronic components in both size and performance.
