Sensors-Demeter Components Group Announces 10 Gb/s Fabry-Perot and Distributed Feedback Laser Diodes and 10 Gb/s Avalanche Photodiode and PIn Receivers
Princeton, NJ, March 19, 2002 - Sensors-Demeter Components Group announces the immediate availability of its 10 Gb/s Fabry-Perot (FP) and Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser diodes along with its 10 Gb/s Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) Avalanche Photodiode (APD) and PIN Receivers. This combination of high-speed products is a comprehensive offering that delivers the high performance needed by emerging 10 Gigabit Ethernet, DWDM and SONET applications, such as data storage, campus, and metropolitan links.
Sensors-Demeter offers a 'one-stop shopping' alternative for customers that want to save time and money by single sourcing the acquisition of complementary, leading-edge 10 Gigabit technology. "Our complete suite of optoelectronic devices demonstrates the full capability and synergistic technologies of the Sensors-Demeter Components Group," states Bill Woodrow, Director of Sales and Marketing, Sensors-Demeter Components Group. "This announcement means significant time and cost savings for transponder manufacturers who previously had to support multiple source configurations for transceiver designs. Sensors-Demeter is providing designers with a dependable supply of standardized, reliable, high performance, high speed components."
"10 Gb/s products will dominate the optical components market in the next few years," asserts RHK senior analyst Vladimir Kozlov. "Sensors-Demeter is well positioned to capitalize on this market opportunity. Having a complete product portfolio is essential in this very competitive market, targeted by numerous suppliers."
The AlGalnAs/lnP MQW high-speed un-cooled 10 Gb/s FP & DFB laser diode chips feature a low operation current and a high quality eye diagram meeting OC192 SONET specifications. The 10 Gb/s 1310 nm FP laser diode chip can transmit over a distance of at least 600 meters at -40 to 80 deg C. The 10 Gb/s 1310 nm DFB laser diode chip can transmit over a distance of at least 20 kilometers at 0 to 85 deg C. Both the 10 Gb/s FP & DFB laser diode chips are available in a proprietary high-speed/low-cost TO header package with a PIN photodiode for monitoring laser output.
The 10 Gb/s InGaAs PIN and APD receivers integrate a 10 Gb/s transimpedance amplifier (TIA) in an extremely miniature, hermetically sealed TO-46 package. The 10 Gigabit receivers feature DC coupled differential output, 1000 nm to 1650 nm response and low power consumption, at an attractive price. The 10 Gb/s PIN receiver offers -17 dBm sensitivity and the 10 Gb/s APD receiver offers -23 dBm sensitivity.
Sensors-Demeter Components Group offers InGaAs Linear and Area Photodiode Arrays, APD & PIN Receivers, Multi-Channel Power Monitors, NIR Imaging Cameras, DFB and FP Lasers, Active Bi-Di's, and Laser Combiners. All of these components will be leveraged to build new optical subsystems incorporating innovations arising from the integration of InGaAs and laser technologies in areas such as CWDM, DWDM, SONET/SDH, MANs, Transceivers, Transponders, Add/Drop Multiplexers, MEMS Switch Controls, EDFA Gain Monitoring, as well as Laser Beam Profiling, Free Space Communications, Semiconductor Inspection, LADAR, LIDAR and Spectroscopy. As one of the leading suppliers to the merchant market, Sensors-Demeter will enable transponder manufacturers to radically improve transceiver designs by incorporating its smaller, highly sensitive, reliable, high-speed components.
