CyOptics develops and manufactures highly compact, very high-speed components for optical networking. The company's components are based on 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 semiconductor technology and offer breakthrough performance combined with dramatic reductions in size and cost when compared with conventional solutions. In addition, CyOptics products enable integration of multiple functions, such as signal generation, modulation and power monitoring, into one highly integrated component. "The nominal speed of optical transmission channels is doubling every 18 months," said Eran Yarkoni, president of CyOptics. "While today's commercial systems operate at speeds of 2.5 and 10Gbps, the first commercial deployments of 40Gbps and 80Gbps systems are already expected in 2001. CyOptics is strategically poised at the leading edge of this technology." CyOptics' patented Pulse Generating Laser (PGL Persistent generalized lymphadenopathy (PGL) A condition in which HIV continues to produce chronic painless swellings in the lymph nodes during the latency period. Mentioned in: AIDS ) technology enables very high-speed and long-haul 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 transmission by generating high power, short laser pulses. The technology is ideal for implementation of RZ (Return to Zero) and OTDM OTDM Optical Time Division Multiplexing OTDM on Track Disk Manager (Optical Time Domain Multiplexing) transmission systems, and is unique in its minimal size and drive power requirements.

The technology is ideal for implementation of 40Gbps and 10Gbps DWDM long-haul transmission systems, as well as for OTDM implementation. Recent experiments have demonstrated successful transmission of 40Gbps optical channels over conventional optical fiber at distances of more than 400 kilometers, and transmission of 6.4 terabits per second over a single fiber has been shown. New methods of optically multiplexing data streams employing Optical TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. (OTDM) are being developed to achieve speeds of 100Gbps and higher, enabling commercial systems transmitting 10 terabits per second and beyond. At the same time, the need to reduce data transmission costs and the move toward an all-optical network has led to the development of ultra-long-haul (ULH) optical systems. ULH systems transmit data optically for distances of 2,500 kilometers and higher without requiring electronic signal regeneration. These systems allow highly cost effective cross-continental and overseas transmission.
