Research and Markets: Optical Component Markets at $1.5 Billion (US) Are Expected to Reach $2.4 Billion By 2009.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c23146) has announced the addition of Optical Transceiver Market Opportunities, Strategies, and Forecasts, 2005 to 2011 to their offering Contents are entitled as follows: 1. Optical Component Market Dynamics and Market Description 2. Optical Transceiver Market Opportunities and Market Forecasts 3. Optical Transceiver Company Profiles 4. Optical Component Market Opportunities and Market Forecast Overview List of Tables and Figures Optical investment has been in building core and backbone networks A backbone network provides a path for the exchange of information between different LANs or subnetworks.[1] A backbone can tie together diverse networks in the same building, in different buildings in a campus environment, or over wide areas. . To harness the power of the optical core and backbone, the metro must be built out. As carriers move into a wider acceptance of optical networks the focus shifts to delivering broadband signals. Traffic volumes are increasing at a rapid pace. Investment dollars are shifting from the core to metro networks Metro Networks is a broadcasting outsourcing company based in Houston, Texas. It is a subsidiary of Westwood One, which is managed by CBS Radio. The company operates a number of local and regional news and traffic facilities that provide regular reports to affiliates, together with . Carriers that are making money keep deploying and investing in new equipment to offer new services. As telecommunications service providers A Telecommunications Service Provider or TSP is a type of Communications Service Provider that has traditionally provided telephone and similar services. This category includes ILECs, CLECs, and mobile wireless companies. extend their networks into metro and access applications, densities diminish and the need for high volume, less expensive components and systems become critical. The amounts of space available for 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 diminish in metro and access systems. The bottleneck in the deployment of optical networks has been the availability of low cost components that can be manufactured in large scale. Unlike electronic components, optical components are connected with fibers rather than electric pins. It is essential that proper physical connection be made between the fiber connectors and the device. Otherwise, unacceptable optical power losses occur. Products need to be designed for automated fiber alignment and attachment. Optical components have not been designed for integration within a single fiber package. The output of the component vendor is limited making manufacturing costs high. Smaller, faster, more complex and less expensive component solutions are needed. These drive down the cost of optical systems and solve valuable real estate issues, much of the current effort has centered on the cost of large-scale production of commonly used discrete components An elementary electronic device constructed as a single unit. Before integrated circuits (chips), all transistors, resistors and diodes were discrete. They are widely used in amplifiers and other devices that use large amounts of current. such as Erbium erbium (ûr`bēəm) [from Ytterby, a town in Sweden], metallic chemical element; symbol Er; at. no. 68; at. wt. 167.26; m.p. 1,529°C;; b.p. 2,863°C;; sp. gr. 9.05 at 25°C;; valence +3. Doped dope n. 1. Informal a. A narcotic, especially an addictive narcotic. b. Narcotics considered as a group. c. An illicit drug, especially marijuana. 2. Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier) A device that boosts the signal in an optical fiber. Introduced in the late 1980s, the EDFA was the first successful optical amplifier. ) and wavelength multiplexers / de -multiplexers. Optical component markets at $1.5 billion (US) are expected to reach $2.4 billion by 2009. The world-wide market for integrated active optical products at $1.1 billion in 2003 will grow to $1.5 billion in 2009. Integrated active optical components include products such as transceivers and transponders. Markets for passive optical components at $483 million in 2003 will grow to $871 million in 2009.
