New Focus' Optical-to-Electrical Converters Extend WaveMaster Oscilloscopes' Functionality into Fiber-Optic Markets New Focus, Inc. (Nasdaq:NUFO), a leading provider of photonics technology solutions, today announced that LeCroy Corporation (Nasdaq:LCRY), a leading supplier of high-performance digital oscilloscopes, selected the New Focus 3.5-GHz optical-to-electrical (O/E O/E On Examination O/E Opto-Electronic O/E Operator Error O/E Observed to Expected ratio (environmental & medical research) O/E Optical/Electrical Converter O/E Optic to Electric ) converter for use with LeCroy's flagship WaveMaster(TM) 8500 oscilloscope oscilloscope (əsĭl`əskōp'), electronic device used to produce visual displays corresponding to electrical signals. Displays of such nonelectrical phenomena as the variations of a sound's intensity can be made if the phenomena are . New Focus' converter will allow engineers to use the WaveMaster 8500 oscilloscope to analyze fiber-optic signal data. "LeCroy's selection of New Focus' O/E converters for WaveMaster -- the industry's first oscilloscope offering a combination of high-bandwidth, high sample rate and long memory -- is a testament to the strength of our technology," said Nic Pignati, president and chief executive officer of New Focus, Inc. "Winning another top-tier customer such as LeCroy reaffirms our strategy to provide innovative photonics solutions to key companies in the telecom, semiconductor, industrial and biomedical bi·o·med·i·cal adj. 1. Of or relating to biomedicine. 2. Of, relating to, or involving biological, medical, and physical sciences. markets." "LeCroy's partnership with New Focus will enable us to introduce an oscilloscope into the high-end of the important optical market for the first time," said LeCroy president and chief executive officer Tom Reslewic. "New Focus' converter is the ideal O/E solution for the WaveMaster because it provides unparalleled levels of bandwidth, accuracy and performance -- a necessity for an oscilloscope at the very highest end of the market. We expect to continue to leverage New Focus' high-speed opto-electronic expertise in future silicon germanium-based products for the 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. industry." The partnership provides customers with faster, more accurate, waveform measurement and analysis across all communications wavelengths from 400-1650 nanometers and across multiple communications protocols, including Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. , Fiber Channel, Xaui and OC-48. The New Focus 3.5-GHz O/E converter comes standard with a multimode 62.5-micron fiber input and is available with either a gallium-arsenide (GaAs) detector for wavelengths from 400-900 nm or an indium-gallium-arsenide (InGaAs) detector for wavelengths from 900-1650 nm. The LeCroy Wavemaster 8500 oscilloscope uses revolutionary X-Stream(TM) technology for faster, easier measurement and WaveShape analysis that is an order-of-magnitude faster than existing architectures.
