Ortel Announces 10 Gb/s Laser for Metro Applications.Business Editors BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 7, 2000 Ortel Corp. (Nasdaq:ORTL ORTL Oregon Right to Life, Inc. (Salem, Oregon) ) today introduced the Daytona laser, a 1310nm 10 gigabit-per-second (Gb/s) distributed feedback (DFB DFB acronym for dark, firm, dry meat. Called also dark cutting beef. ) directly modulated laser (DML A 4GL programming language from Ross Enterprise, the ERP division of CDC Software, Atlanta, GA (www.rossinc.com). DML is the primary scripting and form definition language for its GEMBASE runtime engine. ) designed for Metro network, drop-side Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing See WDM. (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 ) and datacom applications. "In Metro applications, the most critical requirements are low cost and high speed. The Daytona Laser delivers 10 Gb/s bandwidth and high performance for a significantly lower price," said Jeff Rittichier, Ortel's vice president of worldwide marketing. "The price and performance of the Daytona laser make it an ideal solution for drop-side DWDM long-haul transport equipment, add/drop multiplexers in SONET/SDH links, next-generation datacom routers, and inter-office time division multiplexing (communications) time division multiplexing - (TDM) A type of multiplexing where two or more channels of information are transmitted over the same link by allocating a different time interval ("slot" or "slice") for the transmission of each channel. I.e. (TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. ) links." Ortel's Daytona laser is a cost-effective 10 Gb/s digital transmission solution for Metro SONET/SDH and dropside DWDM applications up to 50 km. It delivers 4 mW average output power over an extended case temperature range of -40(Degree) to +80(Degree) C. This 1310nm laser provides superior signal quality and distortion performance for clean open eye patterns in short and intermediate reach applications. With excellent RF return loss, this 10 Gb/s laser integrates easily with high-speed optoelectronics. In addition, because its form factor is similar to 10 Gb/s electroabsorption laser modules, Ortel's Daytona Laser is readily designed into today's 10 Gb/s system designs. Ortel Corp. designs, manufactures and supplies advanced optoelectronic technologies that provide the critical bandwidth and two-way interactivity essential for robust telecommunications and cable television applications. Ortel's fiber optics increase the capacity and performance of fiberoptic networks enabling them to handle ever-increasing volumes of voice, video and data communication. The company has headquarters in Alhambra, Calif., with international operations in Sweden, Germany, France, Singapore and China. For more information visit Ortel's Web site at http://www.ortel.com. |
