Press Release Summary:
Small enough to be incorporated into industry standard 300-pin MSA-compliant transponder package, Differential Phase Shift Keying Demodulator is available with bit rates for 40 Gb/s DPSK and DQPSK with free-spectral range from 10-70 GHz. Device has almost insignificant polarization dependency of less than 1% of free-spectral range.
Original Press Release:
Avensys' ITF Labs Displays New Miniature DPSK Demodulator at OFC/NFOEC Exhibition in San Diego on February 25-29, 2008
MONTREAL, Feb. 20 /-- Avensys Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Avensys Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: AVNY.OB) , today announced that its R&D partner, ITF Laboratories Inc. (ITF Labs) has completed development of a miniaturized Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK) demodulator.
The micro-DPSK demodulator is designed small enough to be incorporated into the industry standard 300-pin Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) compliant transponder package, and will be available with bitrates for 40Gb/s DPSK and DQPSK with free-spectral-range from 10 GHz to 70GHz. The device has the lowest loss and highest extinction ratio on the market with an almost insignificant polarization dependency of less than 1% of free-spectral range.
All dimensions of the device have been reduced, making this the thinnest, fastest tuning, lowest power consumption product available which enables the integration of either DPSK or DQPSK formats into the MSA package.
ITF Labs' Vice President of Engineering, Nigel Holehouse stated, "This development underlines our commitment to providing leading edge demodulation devices, for current and next generation telecom systems."
ITF Labs, along with its commercialization partner, Avensys Inc., will showcase this new product at OFC/NFOEC 2008 on February 25-29 in San Diego, CA. The exhibition is being held at the San Diego Convention Center and ITF Labs will be located at booth # 2914. OFC/NFOEC attracts more than 13,000 attendees from 50 different countries. It is the premier international event for both the science and business of optical communications, with a comprehensive technical program and the largest all-optical business exhibition.
