Infinera to Present Advances in Unique Photonic Integrated Circuit Technology at ECOC 2005.GLASGOW, Scotland -- Infinera, the provider of optical networking Communications between computers, telephones and other electronic devices using light. An optical network is far more reliable and has far greater potential transmission capacity than networking in the electrical domain. See optical fiber. systems based on photonic integrated circuits A Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) is a device that integrates multiple photonic functions and as such is analogous to an Electronic Integrated Circuit. However the major difference between the two being that a photonic integrated circuit provides functionality for information (PICs), is to highlight recent advances in PICs at the European Conference on 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. in Glasgow, Scotland. "With the recent announcement that FLAG Telecom has deployed the Infinera DTN See disruption-tolerant network and delay-tolerant network. optical platform, we now have Infinera DTNs carrying live traffic for network operators in Europe, North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. and Asia," said Dave Welch Dave Welch is an English poker player based in St. Albans, who made several appearances on the Late Night Poker television series, including the season 1 grand final and the season 6 semi-final. , founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Infinera. "We're pleased to have the opportunity at ECOC ECOC European Conference on Optical Communications ECOC Error Correcting Output Codes ECOC Experimental Combat Operations Center ECOC Enhanced Combat Operation Center ECOC Emotional Cycle of Change to further describe the photonic Dealing with light (photons). See photon and photonics. integration technology at the heart of those networks." Dr. Welch will present an invited talk on Tuesday titled, "Managing Bits Instead of Waves: Large-Scale Photonic Integrated Circuits Enable Implementation of Multi-Wavelength 'Digital' Optical Networks." In this talk, Dr. Welch will describe performance characteristics as well as system and network-level implications of Infinera's monolithically integrated PICs. Radha Nagarajan, Infinera's Director of Advanced PIC Development, presents a paper on a novel uncooled 100Gb/s photonic integrated circuit capable of operating over a wide temperature range. The development of coolerless PICs is significant as it indicates the potential of PICs to serve in both new applications and harsher environments.
