On Tuesday May 31, 2011, 8:00 am EDT PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- GigOptix, Inc. (OTCBB:GGOX.ob - News), a leading supplier of high performance electronic and electro-optic components that enable next generation 40G and 100G optical networks, announced that its LX8401 40G Mach-Zehnder modulator implemented using GigOptix’s proprietary Thin Film Polymer on Silicon (TFPS™) technology has successfully achieved two major milestones in its product commercialization. First, the LX8401 modulator’s performance had been successfully validated by a number of Tier 1 customers in system level tests and second, the LX8401 had completed the demanding High Temperature Operating Lifetime (HTOL) reliability assessment, a Telcordia GR-468 requirement, without degradation in operating performance. The system level performance tests were carried out in working transponders where the results could be more easily compared with those of competing Lithium Niobate modulators from industry leading suppliers. The LX8401 modulator exhibited excellent optical performance compared to the competing modulators while providing the customer significant advantages in terms of smaller footprint and much lower power consumption. These system level tests were performed following the successfully completing 2000 hours of HTOL testing by the LX8401. The HTOL test is a critical milestone in the suite of Telcordia GR-468 reliability assessments that customers require for all components sold into telecom equipment. The HTOL test assesses the reliability of a modulator by stressing it at high temperature for 2000 hours while it is modulating a 1550nm laser and being driven by a high speed electrical RF signal. This test simulates an accelerated 25 year lifetime of the product. After the completion of the testing, the LX8401 modulators showed no degradation in performance including key parameters such as insertion loss, drive voltage, extinction ratio and bandwidth. Further reliability tests are in progress with full Telcordia reliability assessment expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2011. Dr. Raluca Dinu, GigOptix’s Vice President and General Manager of GigOptix Bothell, states, “These successful tests prove that the LX8401 modulator based on our proprietary TFPS technology demonstrates both reliable and competitive performance and we are excited to have customer validation of our low power consumption, small footprint and disruptive modulator technology. Customers are demanding innovative solutions to address the growing demands of more bandwidth by consumers with smaller, faster and more power efficient solutions. We look forward to enabling further innovation and releasing more competitive products that leverage this technology in standalone and higher integration architectures.” The LX8401 is designed using GigOptix's proprietary TFPS technology that enables industry leading low drive voltage in the smallest form factor available. The low drive voltage reduces power consumption by more than 20% compared to competing modulator technologies, while the small form factor enables smaller 300pin optical transponders.
