Oki Electric Develops World's Smallest 10G Optical Modulator Driver IC; Achieves 9Vpp Output and Targets a 50% Market Share.TOKYO -- Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. (TOKYO:6703) today announced the development of KGL KGL Kongelig (Danish: royal) KGL Kigali, Rwanda (airport code) KGL King's German Legion (British Army; Napoleonic Wars) KGL Kline Geology Lab 4166, a 10Gbps Mach-Zehnder modulator Modulator Any device or circuit by means of which a desired signal is impressed upon a higher-frequency periodic wave known as a carrier. The process is called modulation. The modulator may vary the amplitude, frequency, or phase of the carrier. driver IC for high-speed optical communication. This IC comes in the world's smallest package for a device equipped with bias-T. It also features an output voltage of 9Vpp, which is a 1.5 fold increase from conventional chips, achieving the largest output voltage in the industry. For 10Gbps optical communication, achieving long distance data transmission and reducing the cost of dispersion dispersion, in chemistry dispersion, in chemistry, mixture in which fine particles of one substance are scattered throughout another substance. A dispersion is classed as a suspension, colloid, or solution. compensation are keys. Though new methods such as duo binary module and Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK (Differential Phase Shift Keying) A common form of phase modulation used in analog modems. DPSK does not require complex demodulation circuitry and is less susceptible to random phase changes in the transmitted waveform. See PSK, FSK and QPSK. ) that are strong in relation to dispersion are being developed, they require driver ICs with higher output amplitude since the modulator is driven with higher voltage than conventional ones. The KGL4166 is a 10Gbps optical modulator An optical modulator is a device in which a signal-controlled element is used to modulate a beam of light. See:
"We believe the KGL4166 will have an impact on the 10Gbps optical communication market, which is expected to grow. This super-small driver IC will enable customers in the optical transceiver (TRANSmitter reCEIVER) An electronic device or circuit that transmits and receives analog or digital signals. It comes in many forms; for example, a transponder on a satellite, a network adapter in the computer or the circuits in a cellphone. business to create smaller, higher quality optical communication devices," said Masayuki Tsuboi, President of Optical Components Company at Oki Electric. "Oki will launch this product from the fiscal year ending March 2008 and utilizing the advantages of high-speed and high voltage in the device, we will target a 50% share in the Mach-Zehnder modulator driver IC market."
