GWS Photonics Demonstrates Wide Tunability of Its Core GWS Device Over the C Band.Business Editors, Technology Writers PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 20, 2001 GWS GWS Gulf War Syndrome (see also PGS) GWS Get Well Soon GWS Great White Shark GWS Google Web Server GWS Goes Without Saying GWS Gun Weapon System GWS GroupWare Server (DMS/FAMIS applications) Photonics Inc. announced that it demonstrated for the first time wide tunability of its GWS core device covering the C band. GWS Photonics' tunable sub-systems in the 1.55 um region, including tunable lasers and tunable filters, are all based on the GWS device tuning capability by application of an electric field. GWS Photonics has received full exclusivity for GWS related patents from the Weizmann Institute of Science The Weizmann Institute of Science (מכון ויצמן למדע) is a world-renowned institute of higher learning and research in Rehovot, Israel. , where the technology has been under development for the past decade. Compared to other tuning devices, the GWS element, manufactured utilizing Silicon based technology, has the potential advantage of being inexpensive to produce in high volumes, while providing a large tuning range and robust performance, without moving parts Moving parts are the components of a device that undergo continuous or frequent motion, most commonly rotation. "Parts" only include the mechanical components which does not include fuel, or any other gas or liquid. . Commenting on the announcement, Dr. Avner Sharon, Vice President Business Development said: "Based on our novel core technology, GWS Photonics is paving the way for the next generation 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 for broadly tunable high power tunable lasers for long haul Long distance. Long haul implies traversing a state or a country. Contrast with short haul. , metro, and routing applications, as well as future planned products such as tunable filters for optical performance monitoring Optical performance monitoring (OPM) is used for managing high capacity dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical transmission and switching systems in Next Generation Networks (NGN). and add-drop filters. The products we plan to introduce to the market combine outstanding performance at low cost." About GWS Photonics: GWS Photonics Inc. develops, designs and produces tunable sub-systems including tunable lasers, and tunable filters that will meet the requirements of future fiber optic DWDM systems all based on GWS Photonic's novel technology. GWS products are specifically designed to increase tunability over C & L bands, improve reliability, and reduce component costs. The company's website is http://www.gws-photonics.com |
