Press Release
GigOptix to Present Reliability Data of EO Polymer Modulator at Photonics West
PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan 21, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GigOptix, Inc. (OTC BB:GGOX), today announced that Dr. Raluca Dinu, Vice President and General Manager of LX Product Line , will present at the SPIE Photonics West Conference & Exhibition to be held at The Moscone Center in San Francisco on January 23-28, 2010. Details for GigOptix's Presentation are as follow:
Title: EO Polymer Modulators Reliability Data, Paper 7599-16
Conference: Organic Photonic Materials and Devices XII
Date: Wednesday, January 27, 2010
Time: 9:10 AM, Pacific Standard Time
Location: Room 212 (Mezzanine) at The Moscone Center in San Francisco
Introduction:
Increased internet traffic from data, voice, and multimedia services is pushing the demand for components suitable for short range and long haul 40+ Gb/s data communication. Electro-optic (EO) polymers made significant progress due to the continuous race to increase the materials' EO coefficients, to lower the operation voltage, and reduce the overall dimensions of the packaged modulator. Polymer modulators provide the largest bandwidth of all modulator technologies as well as low fabrication costs, making them attractive candidates for telecom applications. To penetrate the market in a meaningful way, polymeric materials must show similar long term stability as the incumbent modulator materials.
GigOptix was the first company to report on Telcordia testing of polymer modulators to demonstrate the robustness of the technology for use in telecommunication systems. One key consideration for such use is the performance of the components over the long term. In the presentation at Photonics West, GigOptix will report on tests performed on its EO material that show less than 10% change in the EO coefficient at 85 C for 25 years. This is now the material incorporated in all 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s modulators sold by GigOptix.
