| CyOptics to Acquire Apogee Photonics CyOptics announces the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Apogee Photonics. Terms of the transaction are not disclosed. The acquisition extends CyOptics' high-speed source laser capabilities and positions CyOptics with a comprehensive portfolio of InP-based transmit and receive optical chips and components for telecommunications and data communications applications. Apogee Photonics manufacturers high-speed lasers and offers a broad portfolio of short and long reach products. Apogee Photonics' 10Gb/s and 40Gb/s 1550nm LIM supports optical link distances up to 110km and incorporates integrated InP lasers, modulators and optical amplifiers in a standard 7-pin EML-compatible package while providing higher output power and better dispersion performance than standard, monolithic EMLs. The Apogee Photonics uncooled 1310nm 10Gb/s EML supports both 10Gb/s Ethernet and SONET links up to 10km and delivers the highest mask margin and bit error rate performance available today. In addition, Apogee Photonics is developing a family of uncooled CWDM EML lasers operating up to 25Gb/s that will support the deployment of 100Gb/E optical links, the next-generation of Ethernet data rates. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
