Optical Component Worldwide Markets at $2.9 Billion Are Expected to Reach $7.6 Billion by 2012.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c35905) has announced the addition of "Optical Component Market Opportunities, Strategies, and Forecasts, 2006 to 2012" to their offering. As networks are implemented for triple play, they become complex, driving the need for fast transport based on optics. Manufacturers of communications and computer equipment are increasingly value the ability to provide integrated solutions for both opto-electronic components and integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. . Growing capabilities in combining opto-electronic components and integrated circuits into single products position the market for rapid growth. Competitors seek to offer manufacturers of communications equipment a broad portfolio of opto-electronic components that are designed to operate together to create integrated solutions. Companies participating in the optical component industry are combining multiple devices into single products, often referred to as modules, to deliver to customers functions traditionally performed by a number of separate opto-electronic devices. Integrated product offerings combine integrated circuits and supporting software as part of a complete solution. Advanced system-on-a-chip capabilities allow users to integrate, on a single integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for , multiple functions that required multiple integrated circuits. Optical components serving the 10 Gbps space are not the only products needed. The 2.5 Gbps space is very attractive, with 40 Gbps to make an appearance this year in 2006. The main application dynamics are optical systems used with high-speed transmitters that are required to transmit longer distances. The actual assembly of transmitters and boards will trend to the Asian region over the forecast period. Regional variation is significant in this market evolution with the underdeveloped un·der·de·vel·oped adj. Not adequately or normally developed; immature. countries choosing the least expensive components and the more developed regions adopting components that support agile, flexible network upgrades. A transponder A receiver/transmitter on a communications satellite. It receives a microwave signal from earth (uplink), amplifies it and retransmits it back to earth at a different frequency (downlink). A satellite has several transponders. is used in an optical network to transmit and receive optical signals. Integrated solutions bring key benefits to manufacturers of communications and computer equipment, such as improved product performance, reduced product In model theory, a branch of mathematical logic, the reduced product is a construction that generalizes both direct product and ultraproduct. size and cost, and decreased time -to-market. Competitive alternative solutions to Electro-optical (E-O E-O Electro-Optic ) including Electroabsorption (E/A E/A Environmental Assessment E/A Exhaust Air E/A Executive Assistant E/A Errata and Addenda E/A Ephemeris/Attitude ), Indium indium (ĭn`dēəm), a metallic chemical element; symbol In; at. no. 49; at. wt. 114.82; m.p. 156.6°C;; b.p. about 2,080°C;; sp. gr. 7.31 at 20°C;; valence +1, +2, or +3. 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 (InP) and Mach-Zehnder (M-Z) 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. integration and standalone stand·a·lone adj. Self-contained and usually independently operating: a standalone computer terminal. solutions are being developed. Packaging is the key driver, along with the main multiple: Customers benefit by having the ability to purchase a broad array of products and solutions from a single supplier. Optical component companies seek to develop more integrated products and solutions that capitalize on Cap´i`tal`ize on` v. t. 1. To turn (an opportunity) to one's advantage; to take advantage of (a situation); to profit from; as, to capitalize on an opponent's mistakes s>. experience in both opto electronic components and integrated circuits. As the complexity of optical networks increases, integrating more optical components into network equipment enhances network performance. Equipment suppliers are coming to prefer to rely on optical component manufacturers that possess technical expertise and knowledge across a broad range of components, and are able to efficiently integrate multiple component types into a custom solution. Consequently telecommunications Communicating information, including data, text, pictures, voice and video over long distance. See communications. equipment suppliers seek to streamline vendor qualification procedures and concentrate volume purchases. Vendors may choose to use fewer components providing strategic advantage to market leaders. The converged voice / data applications mean that the voice networks transition to data networks that now include video transport. Optical component worldwide markets at $2.9 billion are expected to reach $7.6 billion by 2012. Integrated optical components include amplifiers, lasers, receivers, transmitters, and transceivers and transponders. Integrated optical components include amplifiers, lasers, receivers, transmitters, and transceivers and transponders. Markets are growing in response to the need to have more efficient networks that are high speed and agile. Flexibility and re configurability are aspects of optical based networks.
