CyOptics Demonstrates 80Gbps Transmission.LEHIGH VALLEY The Lehigh Valley or the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, PA-NJ metropolitan area is a metropolitan region in eastern Pennsylvania and western New Jersey, in the United States. It is the third-most populated metropolitan region in Pennsylvania, after Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. , Pa. -- CyOptics, Inc., a leading supplier of high-speed optical chips and components for broadband communication solutions, today announced the successful demonstration of 80Gbps data transmission for supercomputing and short-range (2 km) datacom and telecom markets. Through CyOptics' photonic integration capabilities and automated packaging platform the TOSA Tosa Historic region of the Japanese island of Shikoku. It dates at least to the Heian period, when Ki no Tsurayuki (868?–945?), editor of Japan's first imperially commissioned poetry anthology, wrote a fictional diary drawing on his experiences as governor of Tosa. (Transmit Optical Subassembly sub·as·sem·bly n. pl. sub·as·sem·blies An assembled unit forming a component to be incorporated into a larger assembly. ) and ROSA (Receive Optical Subassembly) engines transmit and receive at 80Gbps in each direction with a confirmed error free transmission to 1E-15. The engines were also successfully tested over a 2km fiber path in loop-back mode. "CyOptics' demonstration signals a coming shift in high performance computer interconnects from copper to optical fiber," said Steve Scott, Chief Technical Officer of Cray Inc. "The cost, performance and signaling distance of this product will enable versatile and powerful computers." The 80Gbps product was designed and developed in partnership with Cray, Inc. (Nasdaq:CRAY) and is tied to the U.S. government's High Productivity Computing Systems (HPCS HPCS High Performance Computing Systems HPCS High Productivity Computing Systems HPCS High Performance Computing Symposium HPCS High Performance Communication Server HPCS Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (book/movie) ) program. The product design has the flexibility to accommodate 4X or greater bit rates, achieve a package density in excess of 10 Gbs/cm(cubed) and have a cost of only a few dollars per Gbps. "This technology advancement is a major step forward in leveraging Indium Phosphide phosphide Any of a class of chemical compounds in which phosphorous is combined with a metal. Phosphides exhibit a wide variety of chemical and physical properties. Phosphides that are rich in metal have high melting points and are hard, brittle, and chemically inert; these (InP) optical integration to lower data transmission costs," said Dr. Uzi Koren, Chief Technical Officer of CyOptics, Inc. "This demonstration in transmission capability showcases CyOptics' long history of InP technical innovation, demonstrated reliability, and precision manufacturing capability." The Lehigh Valley, Penn.- based company has it origins dating back to Bell Labs through its staffing and recent acquisition of TriQuint Semiconductor's Optoelectronics Division. Its high performance indium phosphide based lasers and detector products are sold to global module and systems level manufactures of optical communications Optical communications The transmission of speech, data, video, and other information by means of the visible and the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. equipment.
